Description
{1} Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out an archaeological investigation and recording during the demolition of the former Fishmarket and 5 & 7 Sheep Street, Northampton, in advance of the construction of a new 21-stand bus interchange.

Below the Fishmarket three extant cellars were observed and a further cellar under the rear of 5 Sheep Street. A well was observed under the cellar floor of 7 Sheep Street.
