Description
{1} Six evaluation trenches were opened in the rear garden of 10 Langham Road ahead of house-building. The area is located between previous excavations at Langham Road and The Orchard, both of which have produced evidence of early to middle Saxon activity and late Saxon and medieval plots (Northamptonshire Archaeol, 21(1986-7), pp 18-25). The excavation identified a total of 155 features of which only 36 produced pottery. This paucity of finds might suggest that the area was peripheral to both the Saxon and medieval settlement.
