Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Between July and December 2014 Albion Archaeology undertook open-area excavation in advance of development at Radstone Fields, Brackley. An unenclosed middle Iron Age settlement covering an area of about four hectares was exposed. Evidence for about forty roundhouses was identified, as well as ditched enclosures, post-built structures and an abundance of storage pits. In addition, stone-lined pits, two stone surfaces and a stone-lined ditch were uncovered. Two possible cremation burials were also identified, although the quantity of bone recovered was small. The largely undiagnostic middle Iron Age pottery assemblage along with modest stratigraphic evidence means it is uncertain whether the excavated evidence represents a single large settlement or several smaller settlements shifting location every couple of generations within the same broad area. A similar and contemporary settlement has been recently excavated about one kilometre to the south-east (see specialist report on Brackley, Northampton Road, this volume). The evidence from both settlements indicates that they were occupied by mixed farming communities who undertook some craft production. LD | |||||||||||||||
