Abstract: |
During 2016, Oxford Archaeology East carried out a series of excavations across a large area to the south-east of Kettering, Northamptonshire in advance of the construction of the Cranford Business Park development. Seven areas were excavated, comprising a total of 6.70ha, which revealed a broad range of features spanning the prehistoric to Roman periods. Iron Age ditches and a pit alignment were identified in Areas A and B in the eastern part of the development area, while a Late Neolithic-Early Bronze Age ring-ditch and a number of cremation burials were encountered nearby in Area C. This area also contained a probable Iron Age shrine along with evidence for contemporary activity in the form of ditches and pits. To the west of this, in Areas D and E, were the remains of Iron Age enclosures and fields surrounding several roundhouse gullies and associated settlement-related features. An extensive Iron Age and Romano-British site was revealed in Areas F1 and F2, extending on either side of the A6. Here a series of ditched enclosures were found, within which were the remains of structures, including two roundhouses, in addition to several wells, stone-lined tanks and corn driers. A single infant skeleton of Roman date was also found in a pit in Area F2. |
