Abstract:		 In March 2007, prior to the development of the site for housing, an archaeological excavation was carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology at College Place, Brackley Northamptonshire. A watching brief was maintained during subsequent groundworks associated with the development. The earliest feature encountered was a medieval ditch with a possible bank, which probably predates the foundation of the planned medieval town in the mid 12th century. Medieval pits were evident across the southern and eastern part of the site and in the area to the rear of the existing street frontage. They relate to 'backyard' activity, probably to the rear of medieval tenements that once fronted on to Market Place. In the 16th century a large clay-lined pit was excavated close to the southern edge of the site. This was subsequently buried beneath a layer of made-ground, up to 0.5m thick, later in the century. In the late 17th century a timber-lined pit or tank was constructed and two other pits were used to dispose of domestic refuse. In the mid 18th century two boundary walls were built, possibly along the line of earlier hedges or fences that may have demarcated earlier medieval burgage plots. The majority of the buildings on the site, most of which have now been demolished, were built in the mid 19th century.
