Cropmark site NHLE 1006796 is a prehistoric and possibly later complex approximately 837 metres south-east of Sacrewell Farmhouse in Northamptonshire comprising multiple archaeological features identified through aerial photography. The site contains a barrow cemetery with associated burial mounds, a quadrilateral ditched enclosure, pits, and a pit alignment, indicating sustained use of the location across different periods. The barrow cemetery and enclosure suggest settlement or ritual activity dating to the Bronze Age or later prehistoric periods, whilst the pit alignment may represent field systems or territorial divisions of similar or later date. The site survives as cropmarks, a testament to subsurface archaeology that has revealed the complexity of Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement patterns in the East Midlands landscape.
