Abstract: |
<summary>Trenches were excavated to evaluate the potential archaeological constraints on any future redevelopment of the site, which lay in the south-east corner of the medieval walled town between Derngate (formerly Swinewell Street) to the north, Albion Place to the west, and Victoria Promenade, which runs on the line of the former town defences, to the south and east. Trenches on the Derngate frontage confirmed the presence of medieval occupation here. A trench at the south end of the site also located traces of medieval occupation, comprising a probable post hole building and rubbish pits. Romano-British features were discovered at the east end of the site, and deposits possibly relating to the tail end of a bank of the town defences were found at both the south and east ends of the site. Evidence of medieval quarrying was located at the west end of the site, but no definite trace of a large medieval urban property known as The Grange, which included a building called "The Towre" - shown on Speed's Map of Northampton of 1610, was found in the central area. {italon}Sec(abr/adp)(10c){italoff} |
