Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief during the removal of topsoil prior to the infilling of land to the west of runway 5/31 at Sywell Aerodrome, Sywell, Northamptonshire. For the most part any archaeological remains would have been sealed beneath subsoil and therefore not visible during the present work. However, in small areas where the subsoil was shallow a number of exposed features were identified including a Roman oven with associated pitched-stone surface, a ditch and two pits. A small assemblage of 1st to 2nd-century Roman pottery was recovered from the oven and ditch. A small number of residual flint artefacts, and a few sherds of medieval pottery were recovered from the subsoil. |
