Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during groundworks for a residential development at two sites within Brackley, a planned medieval town. The sites lay adjacent to Brackley Castle, and close to a site where medieval tenements had previously been excavated. Earlier evaluation of the Hinton Road site had revealed a soil horizon containing 55 sherds of medieval pottery, although no pre-20th century features had been found. At the Sturdy Concrete site, evaluation had revealed parts of a medieval street, a pond, a water channel and back plots of the old Hinton Road. During the watching brief, no archaeological features were observed at the Hinton Road site, although part of a modern industrial building seen during the evaluation was recorded. At the Sturdy Concrete site, a 13th century ditch was seen which may have related to the water channel encountered previously. Pits originally found during the evaluation were sampled, and their 13th century date was confirmed. [AIP] |
