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.
