Abstract:		 The fieldwork comprised the machine excavation of a single linear trench to accommodate the new electricity cables. The trench was excavated to a width of 0.6m and a depth of 1.2m. The monitored section of the trench ran from the B5385 between Long Buckby and Murcott and to a point approximately 250m to the north The archaeological excavation and recording took place in two fields; Field 1 to the south and Field 2 to the north. These were distinguished by the existing field boundaries. The topsoil and underlying deposits were stripped using an 8 tonne 360o mechanical excavator, fitted with a toothless ditching bucket, under the constant supervision of an archaeologist. The route of the trench and any features/deposits exposed were measured and drawn to scale onto a baseline OS map; along with drawn representative scale sections recorded at regular intervals. Oxford Archaeology, was commissioned by Western Power Distribution to undertake archaeological recording and reporting upon the excavation of a new trench to accommodate electricity cables within fields that lie between Murcott and Long Buckby, Northamptonshire (SP 62140 67890 to SP 62154 68124). The fieldwork was completed in September 2014. Within the southern field six modern and historic field drains were recorded providing drainage to the low lying ground. Of these, one was a stone-constructed drain which, along with a ceramic drain, were cut into the base of an infilled ditchlike feature. Both the former ditch and drains were overlain by a clay and rubble deposit levelling the ground surface. No artefacts were present in association with the ditch and stone drain. A further deposit of redeposited clay and rubble was also recorded levelling a previous shallow hollow north of the stone drain and ditch. Artefacts recovered from the topsoil and this levelling deposit all dated from the 19th and 20th centuries.
