Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation on land proposed for an extension at 147 Watling Street, Towcester, Northamptonshire. The remains of a Roman masonry building, replaced by a posthole structure were uncovered. A considerable quantity of Roman pottery ranging in date from the 1st to 3rd centuries was recovered from above the floor surface and some features. Three Roman coins and a quantity of metal objects including a lead weight, scraps of lead and iron nails were recovered. Post-medieval and modern rubbish pits cut the later garden layers. |
