Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology conducted trial excavation in the Waterdale Car Park and monitored borehole sampling in the Community College Quarter during November 2008. A substantial ditch was excavated that produced sherds of Roman greyware pottery and a Mannings Type 11b iron nail. The ditch was at least 2.1m wide by 1.28m deep. A ditch of 19th-20th century date was excavated that preserved the remains of wooden shoring at its base. It had a relatively short life-span and may have been a military practice trench built during the Great War. Borehole sampling indicated substantial buried deposits, in particular to the rear of Chequer House where deposits relating to the documented rear gardens and ponds may still survive. |
