Abstract/Summary
OAU carried out a limited area excavation and watching brief on the site of the former Girls' School Northampton during 1997. A further watching brief was maintained on all subsequent phases of building development on the site. A clay and earth bank that formed part of the medieval city defences was excavated. Several medieval quarry pits were identified across the site: pottery from the quarry fills indicated that the pits were open in the early medieval period. Later medieval rubbish pits were cut into the infilled quarries. Medieval and post-medival soils were recorded across the site, although no evidence was found to support the existence on the site of the late medieval grange building known as the 'towre'. Nineteenth-century walls and garden features associated with the properties that fronted onto Derngate were also recorded.
