Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by Manor Oak Homes to conduct an archaeological evaluation, comprising the excavation of four trial trenches, on land at Priory Lane, Marcham, within an area of known archaeological interest. The excavations identified a number of medieval features, dating from the Saxo-Norman period to the 13th century, concentrated at the western side of the site. The activity principally comprised boundary and enclosure ditches although isolated pits and a posthole were also present. Slag found in a large pit indicated smithing activity in the vicinity. Two limestone walls were also present, although these may belong to a later post-medieval phase of activity. |
