Description

{1} Archaeological watching brief carried out during groundworks connected with a project to repair and reinstate the historic water gardens at Delapre Abbey, Northampton. The work revealed a modern stone-lined culvert in the deeper pump pit. However, the majority of trenching was only 0.6m deep and within disturbed ground, so no earlier features or finds were located.
