Abstract:		 The evaluation comprised the excavation of 45no. trenches, each measuring 40m long and 2m wide, in the locations shown on Figure 2. The trenches were located to test geophysical anomalies and to provide a representative sample of the remainder of the Site. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid co-ordinates using Leica GPS Overburden was stripped from the trenches by a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless grading bucket. All machining was conducted under archaeological supervision to the top of the natural substrate, which was the level at which archaeological features were first encountered. Archaeological features/deposits were investigated, planned and recorded in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual. Deposits were assessed for their palaeoenvironmental potential, and samples were taken in accordance with CA Technical Manual 2: The Taking and Processing of Environmental and Other Samples from Archaeological Sites and processed in accordance with CA Technical Manuals. Artefacts were processed in accordance with CA Technical Manual 3: Treatment of Finds Immediately after Excavation and packaged in accordance with CA Technical Manuals and the Northamptonshire Archaeological Archives Standards (Donnelly-Symes 2020).CA will make arrangements with the Northamptonshire Archaeological Resource Centre for the deposition of the project archive and, subject to agreement with the legal landowner(s), the artefact collection. A digital archive will also be prepared and deposited with the Archaeology Data Service (ADS). The archives (museum and digital) will be prepared and deposited in accordance with the Northamptonshire Archaeological Archives Standards (Donnelly-Symes 2020), Guidelines for Depositors (ADS 2021) and the Standard and guidance for the creation, compilation, transfer and deposition of archaeological archives (CIfA 2014; updated October 2020). A summary of information from this project, as set out in Appendix D, will be entered onto the OASIS online database of archaeological projects in Britain. In October 2021, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land east of Buckingham Road, Deanshanger, Northamptonshire, at the request of Orion Heritage, acting on behalf of Catesby Development Land Ltd. A total of 45 trenches were excavated across the 12.48ha site, primarily positioned to investigate anomalies of probable and possible archaeological origin identified by a preceding geophysical survey. A number of linear geophysical anomalies were confirmed as historic field boundaries and remains of ridge and furrow cultivation. Two distinct furlongs were encountered, with furrows running on north-east/south-west alignments in the western portion of the Site, and on north-west/south-east alignments in the eastern part. Along the northern edge of the Site, evidence was encountered for the rerouting and straightening of a small stream during the late 19th or early 20th century, which now forms the northern field boundary. This change is clearly illustrated on historic mapping and the line of the former stream bed was also identified by the preceding geophysical survey. A small number of undated, possibly earlier archaeological features were also encountered, comprising possible field or enclosure boundary ditches and several small pits or postholes. That these features were undated suggests the Site always formed part of the wider agricultural hinterland, being situated at a distance from any settlement focus and not accumulating or being used for the deliberate dumping of domestic rubbish or material derived from agricultural manuring.
