ENN109631 - Rushden Gateway, 2019 (Trial trench)

The current investigations revealed twelve pits mostly undated but including one which produced 11th to 12th century pottery. Twenty-eight linear type features, possibly field boundaries were also recorded, some of these produced sparse quantities post medieval pottery, ceramic building material and a 17th century fragment of a clay pipe. Unstratified post medieval pottery fragments, a post medieval silver halfcrown, a likely post medieval copper alloy halfpenny, and post medieval buttons were also recovered and other miscellaneous metal finds were recovered during a metal detecting exercise during the evaluation.
