Abstract:		 The trial trench evaluation, carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology prior to the proposed residential development of the site by Taylor Woodrow Developments, revealed the extensive activity as suggested by the geophysical survey. The main focus was at the northern end of the proposed development area. The earliest indications of settlement were a series of middle to late Iron Age linear ditches and a pit that were in close proximity to an east-west boundary ditch. This boundary ditch was maintained into the Romano-British period. The evidence of Romano-British settlement comprised enclosures and a network of associated field systems dating to the 2nd to 4th centuries according to the pottery and Roman coin evidence. A grave cut with the skeleton of a young adult was found just beyond one of the enclosures. There were remnant furrows from medieval ridge and furrow ploughed fields. The change in alignment of the pattern of the furrows may suggest that the Roman boundary ditch continued into the medieval period as a headland.
