In 2022–2023, Cotswold Archaeology carried out a major excavation on land either side of the Dallington Brook at Harlestone Park, on the north-west edge of New Duston.
The large-scale nature of this excavation offered a rare opportunity to investigate not only Middle to Late Iron Age settlements on the site but also the entire past landscape, from the early prehistoric to the Post-medieval/modern periods. Notable discoveries include a Roman lime kiln, two prehistoric pit alignments, and two Middle Bronze Age cremation cemeteries.
Maps, video and photos from the project have all been collated into a storymap to explore what the excavations uncovered!
