Abstract: |
Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to conduct an archaeological evaluation, comprising the excavation of four trial trenches, on land at Rectory Farm, Great Easton, within an area of known archaeological interest. There were a small number of medieval features, probably dating to the 12th-13th centuries. The medieval activity, which included ditches and pits, suggests that they were part of the rear of plots which may have fronted onto the area adjacent to the church. A number of post-medieval and modern features were also exposed. This activity related to the use of the site as a farmyard for at least the last two hundred years and comprised a former yard surface and the stone foundations of barns. |
