SNN107018 - Medieval and post-medieval remains at Angel Street Car Park, Northampton

Trial excavations at Angel Street Car Park confirmed the survival of archaeological remains in parts of the site, whilst in other areas remains have been completely obliterated by modern cellars and foundations. Saxo-Norman features, perhaps belonging to timber structures lay in the south and south east of the site, including deposits abutting a possible 12th century stone wall foundation with 15th century modifications. The building would have fronted St. Johns Street. There was a 13th century stone building in the south west of the site along the same frontage. A 17th century stone building stood along Fetter Street. Buried soil layers of the 17th - 18th centuries were present but cut by 19th century features and wall foundations. Remains of the 19th century buildings survived along St Johns Street and Fetter Street. Deep cellars of 20th century date precluded excavation of trenches along the Angel Street frontage.
