Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the removal of the overburden and the extraction of sand and gravel from Ditchford Pit. Two previous excavations at the site in 1992 and 1994 had identified and examined a medieval limestone metalled causeway crossing a palaeochannel and part of the Roman road earthwork running across the floodplain towards the Roman town of Irchester. Regular visits were made during the removal of the various overburden layers across the site revealed an expansive sequence of environmental succession and channel movement from the early Holocene (8500 BC) through to the present day. Continued observation and recording during the removal of the overburden across the area to the north of the 1994 Roman excavation traced the road continuing to the north but only as a rough metalled surface unaccompanied by side ditches. An isolated adult cremation was also discovered and excavated but could only be tentatively dated to the early prehistoric period. [Au(abr)]
