SNN102323 - Amen Corner, Moat Lane, Towcester, Northamptonshire - An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment and Evaluation

The location of the site suggested that there was the possibility of the presence of remains relating to a variety of periods, principally Roman and late Saxon to medieval. Map evidence suggested that the site was vacant from at least 1806 until 1957, by when a probable store appears to have been erected. The evaluation revealed a series of Roman and medieval features, 1.3m below current ground level, preserved beneath a 19th/20th century buried soil. The Roman features, all pits, were, despite a paucity of finds, early in date. Four further pits and a gully were medieval.
