Abstract: |
Beam slots and post holes representing at least two buildings and a series of associated ditches and pits, dated to the Late Saxo-Norman/early medieval period, were defined within the excavation area. It was clear from the alignment of features that the remains did not pre-date the construction of the Bishop's enclosure since they were aligned with a property boundary that appeared to date from the post-enclosure layout of the village, but which was different from the alignment of the present day along the Thrapston road. There were no features that appeared to pre-date the Bishop's Palace enclosure. The ambiguity of the ceramic dating evidence made it less clear as to the date at which the village underwent its redevelopment, though a 12th century date seemed the most likely. [Au] |
