Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned to carry out a geophysical survey on approximately 10.5 hectares of land in three fields proposed for a northern extension to Finmere Quarry and Landfill Site, Banbury Road, Finmere, Oxfordshire. The magnetometer survey revealed several anomalies indicating archaeological features; a possible iron Age roundhouse or earlier circular monument, a pit, six ditches and a curvilinear ditch that could be part of a large circular feature. It is likely that these features could be a continuation of the complex of Bronze Age and Iron Age features previously excavated to the south of the current survey. Also revealed were areas of diffuse anomalies that could indicate previous shallow quarrying or natural geology. Other anomalies were more likely to be of modern origin responding to ferrous debris and ferrous objects |
