Abstract:		 The Strip Map and Sample Excavation at Barn Farm, Weston by Welland, Northamptonshire involved the stripping of an area ahead of a new barn. The farm is located at the site of a Roman marching camp and previous work has found the enclosure ditch, stake holes and pits. The stripped area was shallow and heavily disturbed with east to west orientated furrows and north to south orientated plough marks scarring the natural substratum. The furrows contained post-medieval pottery and the topsoil contained a mixture of post-medieval and medieval pottery. Despite the disturbance several features were found in the north-eastern corner and a concentration was found against the western edge. Several sporadic post holes were found in the north-east along with the edge of a pit or gully which contained medieval pottery. The group close to the western edge was heavily disturbed and ploughing had incorporated fragments of clay pipe into the tops of features and natural substratum. Within the group there were also extremely shallow square or rectangular marks which were spaced 0.08-0.18m apart. These could be the shallow remains of stake holes however they had a similar orientation to the plough scars and could be disturbance from agricultural machinery such as a subsoiler. Amongst the truncation two post holes were found to be appropriately spaced and orientated to relate to the marching camp. One of the post holes contained an abraded sherd of mid-1st century pottery which is consistent with the suspected structures identified during previous excavations. Because of the ephemeral nature of the structures at marching camps, the potential mixture of remains and the high level of truncation it is not possible to be certain whether they are associated with the camp.
