This collection comprises site data: images, CAD and reports, from an archaeological evaluation, comprising the excavation of thirty-three trenches, at Handley Park, near Abthorpe, Northamptonshire In May 2014, carried out by Cotswold Archaeology. The evaluation was commissioned by Pegasus Planning Group, acting on behalf of Haymaker Energy Ltd, and was carried out prior to the submission of a planning application for the construction of a solar park on the site. Evidence for Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age activity, comprising a pit and a ditch from which a small assemblage of pottery was recovered, was encountered on the south-east facing slope overlooking the valley of Silverstone Brook. In the same area the remains of a small Roman settlement, probably a farmstead and associated field system, were identified.
