Abstract: |
Geophysical survey comprising 145ha Magnetic Susceptibility (MS) reconnaissance and 22ha targeted detailed Magnetometry were carried out at Towcester Vale, encompassing the southern hinterland of Towcester town. Five areas of interest were identified by MS. Follow up survey revealed a 5ha palimpsest of possibly late prehistoric curvilinear enclosures, roundhouses, pits and linear ditches west of Watling Street. A probable occupation site including an ovoid enclosure and roundhouses was identified central to the west of the survey area. Other small enclosures and ditches were found around the area, including a probable part of the medieval Wood Burcote. |
