Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out adjacent to Campbell Square, Northampton, to determine whether remains connected with the medieval or civil-war defences of the town survived on the site. The evaluation comprised a desk-based study, ground-probing radar survey and trial trenching. A substantial but short-lived ditch was located along the suspected line of the defences. It could only be assigned a broad 12th-17th century date and it had been heavily truncated by subsequent quarrying. A short length of wall may have belonged to the period of the Civil War but again had been largely removed by later quarrying. [Au] |
