Abstract:		 An archaeological field evaluation was carried out by Rubicon Heritage Service at the former RAF airfield at Desborough, on behalf of AB Heritage Ltd. A total of 208 trenches were excavated. A number of trenches were positioned to intersect with geophysical anomalies. Two main areas of archaeological significance were identified during the evaluation. The south of Field 4 contains what appears to be a prehistoric enclosure or barrow. The middle of Field 4 contained two intersecting ditches which contained prehistoric pottery indicating that they are likely to be prehistoric in date. Their exact function is currently unclear and they may be associated with a settlement, enclosure or field system. Linear features of uncertain archaeological potential were identified in Field 1.
