Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology during February-March 2013 along 130m of access road at The Cottons, Rockingham. Late medieval and post-medieval pits, postholes, ditches, drains and building remains were located, concentrated in two separate areas behind properties fronting onto Main Street. Artefacts recovered from the two areas included medieval and post-medieval pottery, animal bone, glass, window lead, building materials, clay tobacco-pipes and other late post-medieval finds. The buildings are believed to have been outhouses for a small row of cottages. Map evidence indicates that the outhouses were probably demolished c1806-1815. There was no evidence for the surface of the former medieval back lane which was mapped in 1615. |
