Abstract
The full potential of fieldwalking survey has not generally been realized. There are many limitations in the use of this survey method, but a series of systematic techniques is suggested which may significantly increase the quantity and quality of information collected by field‐walking. The application of such techniques to the study of Saxon settlement in Northamptonshire is discussed. The results obtained cast doubt on the generally accepted ideas of modern settlement originating with nucleated Saxon villages.
