Abstract:
Short article summarising the findings from an open-area excavation in 2013 in advance of the construction of a new railway station building in Northampton. Despite the levelling of the remains of Northampton Castle in the later 19th century to permit the building of the Castle Station and its extensive goods yard, trial trenching had shown the survival of a stone wall dated to the 12th century within the outer bailey, as well as pre-castle deposits. The excavation found that the wall related to a minor functional stone building, perhaps a farriery. Beneath the castle remains lay an extensive buried soil and a system of boundary ditches running down towards the late Saxon river edge. The presence of quantities of animal bone suggested that this area had been a dumping ground from a busy slaughterhouse situated near the river crossing. LD
