Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology conducted geophysical and trial trench surveys on 1.6 ha of land, formerly used as allotments, in Hardingstone, Northampton. The surveys recorded two irregular linear archaeological features which were shown to be Iron Age in date. They appear to be a continuation of ditches previously recorded in land to the east. The ditches contained pottery, animal bones, charred remains and a quernstone, suggesting a focus of settlement nearby. There were, however, no associated features discovered. There was also no indication that the Roman pottery kilns or early Saxon burials, previously recorded in the area, extended in to the application site. Other anomalies recorded in the geophysical survey proved to be non-archaeological. |
