Abstract/Summary
A programme of fieldwork divided between a structured watching brief and a limited pre-emptive excavation was carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology for ARC Central between May 1995 and May 1996. The work recovered the continuation of the Romano-British ditched field system of Irchester Roman town partway across the floodplain. The northern part of the area may have been grass meadow at that time. A Bronze Age round barrow was also recorded.
