Abstract:
Between July and September 2005, a watching brief was maintained on the re-development of a small plot at the junction of Moat Lane and Chantry Lane, Towcester, Northants. Previous evaluation work on the site had identified the presence of Roman and later features on the site protected by c.1.0m of modern overburden. During the watching brief an area along the NW boundary of the plot containing a number of large pits was identified. These pits were not fully excavated due to the dangerous nature of the trench. Four linear features orientated NW-SE were also identified but not excavated. The only other feature recorded during the watching brief were the bottom 3 courses of a limestone wall, as the wall had a rough cut face and was dry bonded it is likely that it represents the footings for a more substantial wall. No artefacts to date any of the features were observed during the watching brief.
