Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	MOLA was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological excavation and watching brief as mitigation on land at Pineham Zone H, Northamptonshire. The development area lies within a rich archaeological landscape in the Nene Valley. Four separate lengths of pit alignment were recorded across the excavation areas. Three of the pit alignments were aligned from a sinuous Bronze Age ditch which had been redefined and maintained on several occasions. The pit alignments can be viewed alongside similar alignments identified previously in the vicinity to represent a network of linear boundaries across the landscape. In the area of the boundary ditch was a pair of tightly crouched undated inhumation burials (HB2 and HB3). To the north of the boundary ditch, the remains of two sub-rectangular post-built structures were identified. The Iron Age and Roman peripheral activity represented a small farmstead and livestock enclosures. The settlement comprised a ring ditch set within rectangular enclosure ditch. The settlement was directly replaced from the 1st century AD by a set of enclosures and fields defined by ditches on a different alignment, which extended the settlement area to the north. In the northern part of the enclosure was a fragmentary child burial. A possible Saxon barrow was found to the south of the site, defined by a continuous ditch. Situated adjacent to it were seven inhumations, all but one of which were in shallow graves. Between the 5th and 9th centuries a field system comprising a set of conjoined enclosures or plots was constructed on the north-facing ridge line, encompassing an area of at least 3.51ha. The individual rectangular plots themselves were defined by ditches.
