Description

{1} An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during water main replacement works in Gold Street, Northampton. One, possibly two, undated surfaces that may be remnants of earlier roads were recorded during archaeological observation of water main works along Gold Street. They were sealed beneath clay deposits containing numerous small off-cuts of leather. A brick drainage culvert of probable mid to late 19th century date was also recorded.
