Description
{1} Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by South Northamptonshire Council to undertake an archaeological trial trench excavation of land at Gray's Close, Paulerspury, Northamptonshire.There were three medieval ditches dating from the 11th to the mid-late 13th centuries. The ditches may relate to former property boundaries for buildings fronting onto Gray's Lane, subsequently destroyed by modern development. The ditches were demonstrably earlier than a series of denuded ridge and furrow earthworks present on site, which probably date to the 14th century. The land probably went out of cultivation at some time in the 15th century when the land around the village was enclosed. Information from OASIS Online Form.
