Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavations by Northamptonshire Archaeology in advance of development identified Iron Age and Roman remains. A possible watering hole was established for livestock on unenclosed upland pasture, dated by AMS radiocarbon dating of maple wood to the 3rd century BC. A sinuous ditch had partitioned the areas to either side of the watering hole by the 2nd century BC, forming an axial boundary upon which subsequent developments were aligned. There was an increase in pottery deposition and by the 1st century BC an enclosure, subdivided by a fence and containing scattered internal pits, lay east of the boundary. The fragmentary remains of two possible roundhouses lay to the west. A pond and a well provided water until the early 1st century AD when straight boundaries replaced the sinuous ditches of the Iron Age but retained the site orientation. By the late 1st century AD a palisade enclosure was established and smaller utilitarian enclosures lay nearby. Early Roman domestic occupation may have been present within the palisade. Scattered pottery probably accumulated until the late 2nd century and comprised mainly utilitarian jars and bowls in mundane fabrics. Abandonment took place before the mid-3rd century when the land probably reverted to rough grazing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
