Abstract/Summary
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by the Oxford Archaeological Unit for the Duchy of Lancaster on land lying between Station Road and Stanwick Road on the northern outskirts of Higham Ferrers between 3rd-5th February 1997. Seven evaluation trenches 30m x 1.5m were excavated covering an area of 2.3ha. The only significant archaeological remains were uncovered in Trench 5 which contained several pits and shallow linear ditches and gullies dating to the middle-late Iron Age. These probably represent occupation ephemeral to the main area of Iron Age enclosures and settlement that lie immediately to the west of Station Road.
