Abstract:		 Historic building and archaeological recording was carried out at 28-30 Main Road, Duston, Northampton between June and November 2016 in advance of redevelopment of the existing building and the excavation of the foundations for a new dwelling at the rear. The site lies within the historic core of Duston, situated along a length of Main Road that follows the original Roman alignment connecting Northampton with Brington. Historic mapping (OS 1886) shows that even by the late 19th century Duston had probably changed little from the medieval plan and was still a sparsely developed settlement, in a rural setting with several farmsteads. The periods of building in Duston from the late-17th to the present are well represented in nos.26-30 with the advantage of having three dated stone-panels, there is another on the school opposite. Nos. 28, east, and 30, west, are 2½ storey dwellings parallel to the road built of the local golden limestone. An old stone house with thatched roof and timber-lintels further west on the opposite side of the road gives a good impression of the appearance of the 1688 house. The results of the excavation at the rear of the property showed a stratigraphy indicating an open rural environment, possibly utilised for cultivation and increased through continued composting/manuring. A few residual medieval pot sherds recovered from the layer represented the earliest evidence for this activity. Following the construction of the building on the Main Road frontage and a range of buildings along the eastern boundary, the area to the rear was enclosed to form the back plot or garden area and the ground further increased with the deposition of the existing garden deposits.
