' This :archaeological significance to undertake selective excavation, this being done between-September and.December 1979 by D. Windell. The top soil removal revealed many moreteatures than appeared from the air, both inside and outside.the enclosing ditch, but the whole site had already been badly eroded bY the plough. The features excavated included traces of four hut circles, storage pits and.an internai ditch. ThOugh the analysis of the materialhas Only just atarted it appears that'the site has two phases. The first,.in the middle Iron Age, has a small group of hut circles which appear to have no énclOsing ditch. This was followed by the cutting of a large ditch 3m deep''by 5m wide with a presumed internal bank enclosing part of the original/area of inhabitation and grouping the hut circles' within it.. This continues:well int6 the late Iron Age and 1st dentury Romano-British potterY Was found in the.back-fill of the excavated section of the enclosing-ditch. At present, it is-thought that Great Dodd- 'ington inita final stage represents an isolated but heavily defended site typical Of those eXcavated by Dennis. Jackson in Northamptonshire, whilst Clay Lane represents a sprawling settlement related to-the gravelotérrace. The Next Stage FieldwOrk within the corridor Of the A45 New Road is now complete and final retults of this are being prepared for publication. However, a new threat'linked with the road has ariSen to the archaeological remains of the Clay Lane site, that of gravel extraction fcir base aggregate for the road. will destroy all the remains tothe south of the New A45, an . area of 30 Acres of complex cropmarks of which'the excavated area is but .a small part. Realising that total excavation of.this area is beyond thé resources of the Unit but that this site ia of great importance the Unit is now defining a sampling system so that the requirements of research into this type of site can be fully met under sUch extreme "réscue"con- .ditions. .This involVes the use of a hierarchy of objectives linked to, the types of feature within the settlement. Acknowledgements The Unit is indebted to Manpower Services Commission for sponsorship ora scheme to assist the project. For advice and assistance we are grateful to the contractors Sir Alfred McAlpine & Son (Southern) Limited, especially their site agent Mr. J. Jones, and to the County Surveyor, in particular Mr. F. Eveleigh the Resident Engineer, and his staff. References Archaeological Priorities: Proposals for Northamptonshire, G. Foard _ (1979). DomesdaY Book: 21: Northamptonshire, ed.

November 1979 and is expected to re-open for a final season during the Spring of 1980. Work on the main manor complex commenced in 1977, has been completed with the excavation of the dovecote and service wing. This leaves but one part of the manor house still to be investigated. Lying some 25m to the north of the main range is a c. 4m x 10m oolite limestone constructed building whose function as yet is unknown. Evidence suggests that it went out of use at the same time as the main manor (c.1300). Investigation of the pre-manor features and in particular the two Saxon churches has continued. It is now known that the earlier of the churches initially comprised a single cell building some 4.5m x 3.0m to which was added a small chancel. Under the rough stone floor of the nave was found a complete pot - a deliberate placement. The significance of this is not at present fully understood though it seems possible that it fulfilled some role in the dedication of the church. Dated to the 10th Century this church was constructed with walls of rough hewn oolite limestone fragments cemented with a ginger mortar. It was replaced in the early 11th Century by a larger church constructed of a similar material though lacking the ginger mortar as a bonding agent. This later church was in turn replaced and partially re-used in the construction of the manor house in the early 12th Century. The cemetery adjoining the churches had by November 1979, revealed 279 inhumations and it is estimated that a maximum of 100 remain to be investigated during 1980. Work on the ageing, sexing and pathology is now underway. The graveyard layout cannot be fully understood until the excavation is complete. To date work has concentrated on the graveyard to the south, east and north of the churches (see Figure 9, graveyard plan). The area to the west of the 11th Century churchhas yet to be explored though four infants have been discovered to the west of the earlier church building. All the burials are supine and are orientated east-west and it is apparent that during at least one phase those graves to the south of the church were laid out in fairly regular north-south rows. With 60% of the graves stone has been utilized either before or after interment to support or cover the burial or to line the grave. There are many different types of stone arrangement and further work is needed before these can be fully understood. Besides completing excavation of the graveyard and the churches during 1980 it is hoped to investigate the boundaries associated with the ecclesiastical and secular usage of the site.
