Abstract: Between June and October 2014 Albion Archaeology undertook open-area excavation in advance of development at Northampton Road in Brackley. An area of about three hectares was excavated, divided into two unequal parts and exposing an unenclosed middle Iron Age settlement, the main part of which extended over about 1.6 hectares. Evidence for about twenty roundhouses was identified, as well as ditched enclosures, post-built structures and an abundance of storage pits. Within the smaller excavation area, about 120 metres south of the main settlement, a further three roundhouses along with additional post-built structures and storage pits were revealed. Preliminary examination of the pottery assemblage suggests it will be difficult to be certain whether the excavated evidence represents a single large settlement or several smaller settlements shifting location every few generations within the same broad area.
