Abstract: |
In August 2010, an archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology on behalf of CgMs Consulting Ltd on land at Overstone Leys, Overstone, Northamptonshire. The development area, comprising 109ha of land, to the north-east of Northampton has been subject to a desk-based assessment and a geophysical survey. This report provides the results for the first phase of evaluation trenching on c6.4ha of land within the development area. Twenty-six trenches, each 25m long by 1.60m wide, were excavated. The only archaeological features were revealed in trench five, which had two gullies and a pit, none of which could be dated. A tiny fragment of possible Roman tile was found in the topsoil in trench 20. |
