Abstract/Summary

Between 10th and 17th February 2020 Foundations Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation on land at Waters Lane, Middleton Cheney, Northamptonshire (NGR: SP 5050 4200 - centred). The project was commissioned by Ben Stephenson of BSA Heritage on behalf of Catesby Strategic Land Limited. The project comprised the excavation and recording of nine evaluation trenches within the area of a proposed development. In the northern field, the evaluation trenching identified a possible undated post-hole in Trench 2 at the northeast and north to south aligned furrows, with rubble drains along the base in Trenches 4 and 5. The orientation of the furrows correlated well with the ridge and furrow evident on aerial photographs dated to the 1940’s. In the southern field, the evaluation revealed stone-built drains in Trenches 6 and 8, along with a possible northeast to southwest aligned feature in Trench 8, which sealed one of the stone drains.
