SNN102131 - Archaeological watching brief at Jarak, Pury End, Paulerspury, Northamptonshire

An archaeological Watching Brief was carried out during groundworks for the construction of a new house and garage. The site appears to have been situated between two groups of post-medieval cottages, and to have been used only as garden in modern times. Much of the site had been levelled-up in recent years and therefore there was little disturbance of ancient deposits. Three large pit-like features of medieval date were recorded during the excavation of the house foundations. In all probability these three features are part of a single, large excavation, possibly a quarry pit. Two modern (mid twentieth century) rubbish pits were also observed.
