Abstract:		 The watching brief was undertaken during the transforming of agricultural land to a sports field. A watching brief during drainage excavations recorded a sequence of naturally deposited silts and clays associated with alluvial deposits on the flood plain, and an undated bank which followed the line of Kettering Road. Plough soil containing one sherd of medieval pottery and several fragments of late post-medieval pottery and clay pipe was recorded through the area investigated. The material was probably deposited as a result of manuring of the field in the late post-medieval period. Although Roman and medieval settlement remains would have been unlikely on such boggy low lying ground, no archaeological deposits associated with the river crossing were encountered. This was probably partly due to the absence of drainage excavations in the northeastern corner of the field, in the area of the projected line of Ermine Street and also to the shallowness of the excavations in an area where periodic flooding was likely to have resulted in deposition of a relatively thick overburden of alluvial silt. The potential for the survival of archaeological deposits beneath the alluvial silts, therefore, remained significant. [Au(abr)]
