This volume is the second of two reports on archaeological excavations undertaken ahead of the eastern expansion of Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) which lies in the northern watershed region of Northamptonshire at its border with Warwickshire. The excavations, covering 178 hectares, recorded one of the most extensive Iron Age farming settlements yet discovered in the British Isles. It comprised at least five individual sites of house clusters and enclosures, spread around the rim of a shallow valley overlooking around 100 hectares of open pasture. At its peak between 400 BC and 100 BC the settlement would have contained up to 100 circular buildings. Volume 2 describes the excavations of four of these individual sites, undertaken at various times by MOLA Northampton (then Northamptonshire Archaeology) at The Lodge and Long Dole, by Foundations Archaeology at Crick Hotel, and by Cotswold Archaeology at Nortoft Lane, Kilsby. The project was managed by RPS. The site reports are followed by a wide-ranging discussion, putting the discoveries here and at Covert Farm, Crick (Volume 1) into the context of Iron Age settlement patterns and dynamics in the East Midland region.- E-bokPDF, Engelska, 2015

The first phase of excavation at Great Western Park sheds new light on settlement and landscape development from the early Mesolithic to the Anglo-Saxon period in the south Oxfordshire Thames Valley.
The earliest significant discovery was an early Mesolithic flint scatter associated with an incised stone plaque. Subsequent periods were represented only by sporadic features, including a few early Neolithic pits, one of which contained a complete, inverted bowl. An early Bronze Age stone-paved hollow, comparable to a pond barrow, lay within a landscape which provides sparse evidence for occupation in the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age. A dispersed group of three late Bronze Age roundhouses, set within a field system, provides the first clearer evidence for later occupation.
The most significant discovery was an extensive early and middle Iron Age settlement, represented by a band of around a thousand pits, spread over 400m along a ditched boundary, dating from c 440-50 cal BC. Loose clusters of roundhouses, four-post structures and other features were built in locations which shifted around the pit scatter over time.
After a decline in activity in the late Iron Age, a series of trackways and enclosures, associated with corn drying ovens, wells and a few burials, was laid out in the Roman period. In the late Roman period a villa, only very partially exposed in the excavations, was constructed on the site.
A single sunken-featured building indicates occupation in the Anglo-Saxon period, after which the site became part of the open fields of Didcot and Harwell.

In the late 2000s, the development of the country’s biggest glasshouse complex by Fresca Group Ltd at Monkton Road Farm on Isle of Thanet led to one of the largest open area excavations ever conducted in Kent. The development covered 90 hectares (about 220 acres) of previously open agricultural land, including the building of seven industrial scale greenhouses, a packhouse, a research and education centre and associated roads, drainage and other infrastructure, and considerable remodelling of the existing landscape, through cut and fill works to create the eight flat platforms. Kent County Council Heritage Group stipulated that those areas about to be reduced should be subjected to comprehensive archaeological investigation. This lavishly illustrated and approachable book presents a description of the superb archaeology uncovered as a result, 6000 years of farming, everyday life and ritual, from some of the earliest farmers in the British Isles, to Copper and Bronze Age burials and monuments, prehistoric and Romano-British landscapes, Anglo-Saxons and hitherto completely unknown agglomeration of medieval settlement covering the entire site, complete with mysterious underground chambers. These buildings and farmsteads fell out of use and disappeared from memory hundreds of years before the hilltop agrarian site came to be characterised by lonely seamarks to guide post-medieval mariners, and finally the location of occasional Second World War installations.
