Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavation on the site of the old bus station, Derngate, was undertaken in 1980 by Northampton Development Corporation, to establish the date and nature of occupation in this area which lies within the medieval town defences but outside the Late Saxon town. There was a lack of Early-Middle Saxon pottery and a single pit contained Late Saxon pottery dating to the 11th century. A large ironstone quarry had been backfilled by the end of the 12th century. The earliest evidence for a building on the site was a foundation trench dated to the 12th-13th centuries. More definite evidence for occupation comes in the 13th-14th centuries, with rubbish pits. Two circular stone ovens and a stone trough date to the 13th-15th centuries, and were overlaid by a series of clay floors and occupation levels. On the Derngate frontage there had been buildings with stone foundations and clay floors also from the 13th -15th centuries. In the 16th century, a post-in-trench structure seems likely to have been a workshop or shed, and this form of construction at this late date might be a reflection of the poorer class of building on the Swan Street frontage. | |||
