Abstract:
A watching brief was carried out by ULAS during groundworks in advance of the construction of six houses on land to the rear of 14, High Street, Market Harborough. The work revealed an 11m long stone-built wall which is likely to belong to a former plot boundary wall. This dry-stone structure used a large quantity of dressed ferruginous limestone which appears to have been taken from an earlier mortar-bonded building. Close to the northern end of the boundary wall were the remains of the corner of a well-built building which may have been the source of stone for the boundary wall. It is possible that the corner belonged to a stable as there are a number of other similar structures within the back yard plots facing onto High Street. Much of the remainder of the site had been heavily disturbed in the recent past making accurate dating difficult. Finds recovered from within the boundary wall include pottery from between the 16th and 19th centuries along with clay pipe fragments from the 18th century. Other unstratified finds from the site include a number of clay pipe stems and bowls from the 18th century.
