Abstract:
University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) carried out excavations to the west of South Meadow Road, Upton, Northampton in spring 2011. The earliest activity comprised linear field boundaries. These were succeeded by a pit alignment and an associated ditched boundary. A nearby oval enclosure, with a central roundhouse, and an attached annexe, produced most of the small pottery assemblage, which is dated to the later middle Iron Age. A system of parallel linear ditches of probable Roman date may have been part of a cultivation system. There were also remnant furrows of the pre-enclosure ridge and furrow field system.
