Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out an archaeological evaluation at Castle House, North Street, Castlethorpe MK19 7EW. The archaeological excavations identified a stone wall orientated NNE to SSW towards the westerly end of the evaluation trench. The wall was at right angles to the current building and may relate to the original 16th century structure or to a later phase, as part of the current extant building is recorded as being occupied in the 18th century. The wall was abutted by a made ground deposit and overlain by stone demolition deposits. The demolition deposits were concentrated in the area of the wall. The deposits were overlain by more made ground which was cut by a post-medieval/modern ditch backfilled with garden soil. The later demolition deposits were dated no earlier than the post-medieval period and overlying made ground no earlier the 18th century. Earlier demolition deposits and made ground were broadly dated by the presence of ceramic tile from medieval to post-medieval periods but were probably post medieval in date. The presence of a fragment of glazed roof tile of Potterspury type would suggest that a building of higher than normal status stood on or near to the site in the medieval period. |
