Abstract: |
A planning application was made to Kettering Borough Council and, in line with the guidance contained in PPS5 Planning for the Historic Environment, Northamptonshire County Council's Assistant Archaeological Advisor requested a programme of archaeological investigations. The first stage (albionar1-91701), was undertaken in January 2011, comprised field evaluation in the form of trial trenching. A second stage of investigation, open area excavation, was required , The open area excavation examined part of a Roman settlement which is now known to extend over c. 1.8ha. The settlement had a regular layout of enclosures and trackways, although these were modified over time. The archaeological remains investigated within the development area comprised a major boundary ditch, an adjacent enclosure and contemporary activity foci. The Roman finds recovered included pottery, brick and tile, metal and glass artefacts, and animal bone. No evidence for late Iron Age or Saxon activity was present. The presence of furrows indicates that during the medieval period the land was part of the open field system associated with Burton Latimer. A small number of undated and/or modern features were also identified. Analysis and publication of the datasets produced by the investigations is proposed to assist in addressing local, regional and national research objectives relating to Roman settlement, economy and society. The end product will be the publication of the results of the evaluation and the excation in the county journal Northamptonshire Archaeology. |
