Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology was commissioned by WSP to undertake a trial trench evaluation along the proposed route of the north-west relief road on the outskirts of Northampton. The work was undertaken in advance of the submission of a planning application. The fieldwork was completed between May and July 2019 and comprised 123 trenches. The evaluation revealed four distinct areas of significant archaeological remains; early prehistoric activity located at the edge of the floodplain in Trenches 36-41; middle-late Iron Age settlement focused around, but not limited to, Trenches 70-73; Roman activity peripheral to a settlement in Trench 96 and late Roman activity, including evidence for crop processing and structures, in Trenches 112-114 and 116. Excavation across the floodplain also revealed significant depths of alluvial deposits and sediments relating to former watercourses. Well-preserved waterlogged remains were recovered from the palaeochannel deposits. Radiocarbon dates were obtained from material in the base of the channels at two locations providing ranges from 3365-3104 cal BC to cal AD 386-538.
