Abstract: |
The development area comprised 39 fields totalling 410 hectares of which 11 fields, covering 83 hectares were suitable for walking. A small number of worked flints were recovered, but with no significant concentration. The fieldwalking recovered a single sherd of late Iron Age pottery and a light spread of Roman pottery. Two areas of medieval pottery concentrations were located, one towards the southern edge of the survey area and one adjacent to the east side of the old Towcester Road, which may indicate the location of settlement activity. A low to moderate manure scatter of medieval pottery was retrieved from the other fields. A moderate amount of post-medieval material was also recovered, with two concentrations of finds, one from the same field as one of the medieval pottery concentrations. Most of the post-medieval finds probably relate to field manuring, but the two concentrations of post-medieval pottery possibly relate to rubbish tipping. A general, but light scatter of medieval and post-medieval roof tile, metal working debris and clay pipe were also collected. Other finds were minimal, but included fragments of medieval and post-medieval whetstones. |
