SNN103166 - Archaeological Assessment of Winchester House School Extension, Brackley, Northamptonshire

An archaeological assessment was undertaken by NA at Winchester House School, Brackley in advance of the construction of new teaching facilities. Desk based research determined that the site is located in an area that contains the potential to retain archaeological evidence relating to the medieval settlement of Brackley. The excavation of two trial trenches tested this potential. A number of heavily truncated features of medieval date were identified. Post-medieval features included the remains of structures that had stood in the south-eastern part of the site and the foundations of a demolished boundary wall that had fossilised the line of former medieval tenement boundaries.
