Abstract/Summary

A desk-based assessment, earthwork survey and trial excavation of a proposed development behind 33 Grasscroft was undertaken. The site lies immediately south of the remains of Long Buckby Castle- a medieval ringwork and bailey fortification (designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument). The evaluation found a possible late Saxon or early medieval road with a nearby ditch, a pit and a gully. There was considerable depth of modern overburden over much of the site.
