Introduction
This collection comprises images from an archaeological observation, investigation, recording, analysis and publication (watching brief) Between July 2013 and November 2016, undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology at Moat Lane, Towcester. The work, which was commissioned by Morgan Sindall, acting on behalf of South Northamptonshire Council, and Clayson Country Homes, was undertaken to fulfil a condition attached to planning consent for the Moat Lane Regeneration Scheme. At the northern end of Moat Lane, investigations identified a ditch of probable Roman date and towards the southern end of Moat Lane, two pits, probably of a similar date, were encountered. These probable Roman features were cut into the geological substrate and were sealed by thick accumulations, up to 1.4m thick, of garden soil and made-ground. Other features included a large post-medieval pit and a 19th-century cellar. No archaeological features or deposits were encountered within the Scheduled area of Bury Mount.
