ENN104192 - Robert Street & Earl Street Water Main Renewals, Northampton, 2006 (Watching brief)

{1} Monitoring of water main renewal groundworks. The area has been heavily disturbed by earlier service trenches, which have either destroyed or heavily truncated any archaeological features or deposits that may have been present. At the junction of Earl Street with Upper Mounts, near the site of the Bastion, several large dressed stones were identified. These appear to have been re-deposited within the backfill of a service trench, but may have originally been part of a structure, possibly the medieval defences that were located in that area Site code: NWM06.
