Abstract/Summary

An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land at 17 Richmond Road, Towcester. It revealed a substantial ditch of uncertain date, buried beneath at least 350mm of overburden. This feature is possibly connected with the re-fortification of Towcester during the Civil War period in the 17th century. Initial assessment of the pottery associated with the latest infilling of the ditch suggests an C18th infill date.
