SNN114424 - Braybrooke Substation, Northamptonshire: Archaeological Evaluation Report

In September 2018 Oxford Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation comprising 20 trenches at the site of a proposed substation at Braybrooke, Northamptonshire. The evaluation identified two concentrations of archaeological features, situated in the north and south-western parts of the evaluation area. All the features were ditches and it is likely that they represent the boundaries of enclosure complexes or groups of fields. Only two features produced dating evidence – one in the northern group and one in the south-western group. In both instances the pottery was Roman, and further Roman pottery was recovered from the subsoil of a third trench. The small amount of pottery recovered from the site is indicative of peripheral activity, perhaps suggesting that the features were not particularly close to any associated areas of domestic occupation.
