Abstract: |
In January 2017 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at 13 Sanders Lane, Potterspury, Northamptonshire (NGR SP 75705 43273). The evaluation was commissioned by Lodge Park Limited and was undertaken in advance of the determination of a planning application to construct a detached dwelling on existing garden land adjacent to No 13. The site lies in an area where archaeological remains of medieval and post-medieval settlement and pottery production are present. The village takes its name from the pottery industry, which was established at two focal points in the village. One lay to the east in the area of Woods Lane and Church Lane, and the other was in the western part of the village (the location of the current site), to the south of Sanders Lane. This western area has revealed evidence of kilns and associated features including clay pits, possible buildings and yard surfaces. Two medieval kilns found to the west of the site possibly extend into the area of the adjacent garden of 13 Sanders Lane. Therefore the site had a potential for medieval and post-medieval remains associated with the kilns and pottery production. In the event the evaluation revealed a late post-medieval (18th - 19th century) pit, possibly a clay pit and associated with the known kilns. Residual medieval (12th - 14th), late medieval (15th - 16th) and post-medieval (17th - 18th century) pottery sherds were also recovered from the topsoil (L1000) and made ground (L1001). |
