Abstract:		 programme of excavation was undertaken as required by the CHET. This comprised a single area covering 0.22ha, surrounding the location of the inhumation burial identified during the trial Trench evaluation in 2016. The mitigation area was measured in and marked out prior to the commencement of work using Leica Captivate GPS operating to an accuracy of +/- 0.05m to Ordnance Survey National Grid. The southern-western and south-eastern boundaries were stepped in slightly from the originally designed limits due to the presence of newt fencing that could not be removed. A public right of way crossed the mitigation area from north to south. To allow for its continued use narrow corridor was left unexcavated. After consultation with the CHET, it was decided to leave this corridor. Machine excavation was carried out under the direction of a suitably experienced archaeologist. The mitigation area was stripped using a 360° machine excavator with a toothless ditching bucket to reveal archaeological remains or, where these were absent, undisturbed natural horizons. Topsoil and subsoil were separated during stripping and stockpiled separately adjacent to the mitigation area. All archaeological deposits and artefacts encountered during the course of excavation were fully recorded. All contexts were described on pro-forma sheets including a detailed description, stratigraphic relationships, interpretation and a checklist of associated finds. MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) Northampton undertook a 0.22ha excavation on land a Station Road, Warboys on behalf of CgMs Heritage LTD (part of RPS group PLC) and David Wilson Homes. The excavation uncovered two Iron Age pits, a Saxon pit and disarticulated human remains residual in post-medieval features. These human remains were found adjacent to an early to middle Saxon burial uncovered in a previous evaluation on the site. Six undated pits and one undated ditch were identified; these might be Roman or early medieval. Furrows and substantial areas of post-medieval quarrying are likely to have removed earlier features including other burials.
