| Abstract: |
<summary>An archaeological evaluation of land proposed for a housing development, located immediately to the north of the walled Roman town of Towcester ({italon}Lactodurum{italoff}) and fronting on to the Roman Watling Street in an area thought to have lain within the northern suburbs of the Roman town, identified no features of definitely Roman date and recovered only a few residual Roman pottery sherds. The presence of alluvial layers suggested that the area had been prone to regular flooding, deterring occupation. Modern dumped deposits above the alluvial layers were thought to have been intended to raise the land above the flood-plain. {italon}AIP{italoff} |
