SNN105589 - Archaeological Watching Brief at Thorpe Castle House, Thorpe Waterville, Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief during the digging of a hole for a new septic tank. A series of infilling layers were observed in the pit which, together with the position of the pit, close to the moat, suggest that these represent the silting up and infilling of part of that feature. Artefacts from the layers included a sherd of medieval pottery, a glazed medieval roof tile and floor tile, and a fragment of worked stone. Post-medieval window glass and stone roof tiles were also recovered. A 16th century copper alloy jetton came from the topsoil.
