Abstract:		 On behalf of Davidson Developments Ltd Bidwells are preparing a planning application for the residential development of land off Mill Lane in Greens Norton, Northamptonshire. A desk-based heritage statement and geophysical survey have already been carried out, but the County Archaeological Advisor advised that archaeological trial trenching would also be required. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the trial trenching. The geophysical survey had identified the presence of probable archaeological features across the survey area. The subsequent trial trenching confirmed the presence of a number of archaeological features. The layout and form of these features, together with recovered artefacts, suggest that the site contains remains of peripheral settlement activity, comprising: enclosure, field system and trackway ditches; bedding trenches; storage pits; and at least one posthole. A moderate quantity of artefacts was recovered from these features, including pottery and animal bone. The pottery dates to the Iron Age and Roman periods. Two areas of activity were identified: one to the north-east and one to the south-west end of the proposed development area. The remains are likely to represent low-status peripheral settlement activity associated with a settlement core lying to the north-east (as indicated by the geophysical survey). These remains are probably of local and regional significance. The north-western part of the site was devoid of significant archaeological remains, other than features associated with post-medieval quarrying and modern agriculture. Traces of medieval ridge and furrow were only identified across the eastern part of site.
