Abstract:		 In January and February 2018, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Midland Road, Thrapston, Northamptonshire. The evaluation comprised the excavation of sixteen trenches. The evaluation revealed evidence for late prehistoric activity largely concentrated in the eastern and centre of site. This included a possible D-shaped enclosure and a rectangular enclosure with a set of two concentric ring gullies located between them. The limited dating evidence suggests that the late prehistoric activity possibly spanned the Middle Iron Age to Late Iron Age. A ditch recorded in the eastern part of site produced a single sherd of pottery dated to the mid 11th to 14th century and it is possible that this and a parallel ditch within the same trench represent medieval activity. However, it is also possible that the pottery was intrusive given its abraded nature. A pit/ditch terminus recorded in the western half of site produced a single sherd of pottery dated to the 17th to 18th century. Two undated possible pits/ditches were recorded within the same trench and possibly relate to contemporary post-medieval activity. The evaluation corroborated the results of the geophysical survey which had identified the possible enclosures in the eastern half of site. Although the northernmost east to west aligned boundary identified by the geophysical survey was not encountered, however, a series of furrows were revealed in this part of site. Smaller features were recorded in the southern part of site, most likely associated with settlement activity which had not been identified by the geophysical survey, probably largely due to the high level of modern disturbance in this area.
