Abstract:
In the summer and autumn of 2005 Archaeological Services and Consultancy undertook a programme of archaeological trial trenching on land at Wakerley, Northamptonshire. Following earlier phases of desk-based assessment, fieldwalking and geophysical survey, one hundred and three trenches were excavated over an area of one hundred and two hectares. The fieldwalking and geophysical survey had identified areas of high archaeological potential, and the trial trenching confirmed and further quantified and defined the extent of archaeological remains present. In general terms the site offers good archaeological potential and the focus of interest lies with the presence of Roman iron smelting remains. Evidence for the industry was dispersed across the area and comprised groups of furnaces in the north part of the site and a number of linear features, interpreted as ore roasting pits, in the southwest and north east parts of the site. Evidence for Roman agricultural activity, including corn dryers and enclosure ditches were also present and a substantial quarry pit was also recorded. A number of archaeological features were obscured by colluvial deposits. The south part of the site comprises part of a former Second World War airfield. Construction of the airfield has probably resulted in localised disturbance, but the survival of the ''ore roasting pits'' on the southwest part of the airfields indicates that archaeological remains have survived the disturbance caused by the construction of the airfield. The north part of the site is less disturbed and preservation is generally better, although all parts of the site are currently being degraded through plough action. A modest assemblage of pottery and artefacts was recorded.
