Abstract: |
MOLA was commissioned by Wilbraham Associates to carry out archaeological trial trenching on land off Church Street, Naseby, Northamptonshire prior to proposed development of the site. Four trenches were excavated. An undated ditch and pit were recorded though the ditch did produce a fragment of daub with a wattle impression. A further shallow pit produced fragments of 11th-century pottery. Substantial wall foundations were found, pottery from the overlying fill was dated to the 13th century. A large earthwork, thought to be related to other medieval earthworks in the vicinity, was found to be a large modern dump of clay and construction/ demolition debris. A sub-square levelled area in the north-eastern half of the site had a small linear earthwork around the perimeter and seems to be on a similar alignment to the walls. This could be described as a house or building platform. |
