Abstract:		 In September 2011, an archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology on behalf of CgMs Consulting on land at Harley Way, Benefield, Northamptonshire. The evaluation has proved the veracity of the geophysical survey results with the excavation of a number of Romano-British ditches and a single pit dating to the 1st to early 2nd centuries AD in the eastern part of the field. The fragmentary skeleton of a human newborn were found at the top of the pit. However, the general paucity of artefacts and complete absence of finer pottery indicates that it was probably a low status rural farmstead. In the northern part of the field, where aerial photography identified rectilinear soil marks probably relating to the remains of Churchfield deserted medieval village, the remains of a medieval stone building were found. Pottery associated with the building dated to the 13th century. A further spread of material in another trench may suggest that further building remains may survive on the northern boundaries of the site.
