SNN105334 - Archaeological evaluation at Oundle School, Scitec, Oundle, Northamptonshire

Oundle School is located directly to the north of the historic Saxon and Medieval core of the township of Oundle, Northamptonshire. An archaeological evaluation comprising trial excavation was carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology in advance of the construction of a new Science Technology Block. Documentary and archaeological evidence had suggested that this area was located towards a focal area of early middle Saxon settlement and there was the potential for the recovery of significant archaeological remains from this period. However, the excavation found only one unequivocal archaeological feature, a pit, from which was recovered a single posherd with a late Saxon/Medieval date range.
