Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology at Milton Ham, Northampton, to examine geophysical anomalies revealed by an initial gradiometer survey. A Romano-British ''ladder'' enclosure, c 150m long and 35m wide, was in the north-east corner of the area, which evidence to suggest almost continuous occupation of the settlement throughout the Roman period. A single sherd of possible Saxon pottery from one of the enclosure ditches offers inconclusive evidence for possible Saxon activity in the general area. Beyond the enclosure only sporadic archaeological remains were found. These include a ditch containing a single sherd of Iron Age pottery and a fragment from a polished stone axe. A second ditch and a pit, both of which were undated, were also found. Remnant ridge and furrow was observed as faint earthworks across the site. |
