The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 23 trenches (Fig. 2): " 2no 20m x 1.8m trenches; " 9no 30m x 1.8 trenches; and " 12no 40m x 1.8m trenches. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid co-ordinates using Leica GPS. Overburden was stripped from the trenches by a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless grading bucket. All machining was conducted under archaeological supervision to the top of the natural substrate, which was the level at which archaeological features were first encountered. Archaeological features/deposits were investigated, planned and recorded in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual. Deposits were assessed for their palaeoenvironmental potential and samples were taken in accordance with CA Technical Manual 2: The Taking and Processing of Environmental and Other Samples from Archaeological Sites. Artefacts were processed in accordance with CA Technical Manual 3: Treatment of Finds Immediately after Excavation. CA will make arrangements with Northamptonshire Archaeological Resource Centre for the deposition of the project archive and, subject to agreement with the legal landowner(s), the artefact collection. A digital archive will also be prepared and deposited with the Archaeology Data Service (ADS). The archives (museum and digital) will be prepared and deposited in accordance with Standard and guidance for the creation, compilation, transfer and deposition of archaeological archives (CIfA 2014; updated October 2020). A summary of information from this project, as set out in Appendix D, will be entered onto the OASIS online database of archaeological projects in Britain. In May 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land west of Buckingham Road, Deanshanger, Northamptonshire for Pegasus Group acting on behalf of Davidson's Developments Ltd. The evaluation comprised the excavation of 23 trenches across the 12.5ha site, primarily positioned to investigate anomalies of probable and possible archaeological origin identified by a preceding geophysical survey. The results of the evaluation broadly confirmed the results of the geophysical survey identifying archaeological remains, concentrated in the northern limits of the evaluation area, of agricultural activity and occupation of a rural nature. The dateable features can be attributed to one of three main periods comprising Middle-Late Iron Age/ Early Roman, Roman and post-medieval/ modern periods. The pottery ...
