Abstract:		 OA was commissioned by Prologis UK Limited with RPS Heritage to undertake trial trenching for Apex Park Phase 4 at Daventry, Northamptonshire in advance of the submission of a planning application for a commercial development. The evaluation was designed to target and confirm the results of a geophysical survey and previous targeted trial trenching whilst also assessing for the presence or absence of archaeological remains. This included the excavation of deep trenches and trial pits to establish the impact of 20th-century landfill operations recorded across the northern part of the site. The current phase comprised the excavation of 72 trenches between July and August 2019. This confirmed the presence of a continuous-circuit ditched feature identified by the geophysical survey and a previously identified linear ditch to the south of the ring-ditch. Convincing dating evidence for these was lacking, although they are probably early Bronze Age landscape. In addition, an undated cremation burial and a pit containing a charcoal-rich fill and fragments of burnt clay were recorded to the east of the ring-ditch. Three further ditches were identified of which one produced scraps of early Bronze Age pottery and corresponded to a curving feature identified by the geophysical survey. The evaluation also confirmed the presence of a medieval or post-medieval agricultural system of furrows aligned northeast-southwest.
