Description
{1} Northamptonshire Archaeology conducted a watching brief throughout works to refurbish the house, outbuildings and grounds at Preston Capes Manor, Preston Capes, Northamptonshire. The work exposed and recorded a variety of structural features of probable medieval date and others of post-medieval origin, apparently connected with earlier manor layouts and the pre-existing motte and bailey castle. These may include part of the bailey's palisade and ditch and the foundations of a 13th-century manorial chapel with distinctive segmental apse.
