Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology conducted trial excavation of the British Red Cross Society site on Castle Moat Road in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire during July 2008. The site lies immediately to the north-west of the motte and bailey castle of Huntingdon. The excavations towards the road frontage and in the west of the site identified deeply stratified layers, inlcuding a substantial ditch, which may have been part of a putative western bailey defensive perimeter or a portion of ditch relating to the forgoing Saxon burh. In the east of the site the ground was disturbed by modern activity and surviving features were heavily truncated. Roman remains were also encountered, including a probable hardstanding or yard surface ind intercutting pits. It is likely that further remains exist beneath the present building. |
