Abstract/Summary

An archaeological evaluation comprising desk-based assessment and trial excavation undertaken ahead of residential development on land off College Street, Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire. Although historical map evidence suggested that the site had been either open ground or orchard for much of the post-medieval period, the excavation identified stone structures and plot boundaries of 12th - 13th century date fronting onto College Street. Further undated ditches may belong to an earlier phase of activity. The remaining area at the west primarily comprised medieval and 18th century quarries.
