Abstract:
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken in 2006 on the site of Saffron Road car park, Higham Ferrers, prior to the development of a new doctor''s surgery. The remnant of a single possible medieval pit was discovered towards the Saffron Road frontage, which contained four sherds of 12th century pottery. No evidence was found for the buildings shown to occupy parts of the site on a map of 1591. The construction of a coal yard in the 19th century and later clearance for the current car park appeared to have truncated earlier archaeology. The coal yard consisted of a reinforced concrete surface, which covered the west side of the site, with layered deposits of coal dust to the east and a recent limestone surface.
