Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The area of a new swimming pool at the Moat House Hotel, Northampton, adjacent to King Street, was excavated in advance of development. Earlier deposits had been severely truncated but two pits of 10th century date attested to late Saxon activity in this north-eastern corner of the early town. In the mid-13th century there was a distinct change in use, with the digging of much larger pits, presumably as quarry pits to obtain ironstone for building. They had been infilled by the 14th century, when one was sealed a laid stone surface. By the mid-17th century a garden soil had accumulated over this area, when the site lay to the rear of properties fronting onto King Street. A steady increase in activity from the late 17th century onward relates to the progressive development of this frontage. The western half of the site was a yard until the late 19th century; it contained three wells and several pits. The eastern half of the site was occupied by the rear wing of the former No. 12 King Street. | ||||||||
