SNN105983 - Archaeological Watching Brief of A Service Trench at Regent Street, Northampton, Northamptonshire

A watching brief was undertaken during groundworks at regent Street, Northampton. The watching brief monitored the excavation of service trench associated with a new block of flats. The site lies within the formerly walled circuit of the medieval (AD1066 – 1540) town, close to the Cluniac Priory of St. Andrew. The only extant medieval remains in the vicinity is the 12th century church of the Holy Sepulchre. Late Saxon (AD850-1066)remains are known to the south. The watching brief identified a probable late post-medieval cellar with no other archaeological features recorded. No finds were retrieved during the investigation.
