Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation in support of a planning application to Daventry District Council for residential development of land off Farndon Road, Hinton. The trenching strategy was devised to examine a variety of anomalies detected by geophysical survey. The fieldwork revealed a good correlation between a number of geophysical anomalies considered to be of archaeological origin and actual features. The features were mainly confined to the north of the area, comprising a prehistoric ditched feature which correlates with a circular geophysical anomaly, c. 15m in diameter. A small assemblage of finds was recovered from the feature, including small undiagnostic fragments of calcined bone. No internal features were identified. Given the absence of other contemporary features in the vicinity, this feature may be the ditch of a burial monument rather than a roundhouse drainage ditch This part of the area also contained a number of undated features, including the flanking ditches of a possible trackway, Further east two quarries were identified, No finds were recovered from the backfill, suggesting that the features were of some antiquity. A series of furrows, in the central and south are characteristic of medieval and later arable cultivation. A series of deeper linear features identified towards the northern margin of the area are thought to be later cultivation features. These were truncated by a later ditched boundary, although this does not correlate with any boundaries shown on historical maps. Investigation of possible pit-like geophysical anomalies in the south-west revealed considerable variations in the geological strata, which probably account for the magnetic responses.
