Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land south of Field View, Brackley, Northamptonshire (NGR SP 57604 37186). It was commissioned by Lagan Homes Ltd, in advance of proposed residential development. Planning permission has been granted by Northamptonshire County Council subject to a programme of archaeological works. This evaluation comprised the excavation of twelve trenches laid out in a grid array. Archaeological remains of varying significance were identified across the site. Two main phases of activity were identified: prehistoric and medieval to post-medieval. The prehistoric phase consisted of two former water-filled features at the north-west end of the site, one of which contained a reworked late Upper Palaeolithic long blade. These features are likely of early prehistoric date. The medieval to post-medieval phase consisted of fourteen furrows and a probable field boundary ditch. |
