SNN107022 - Excavation of Post-Medieval Tenements at Market Place, Kettering, April-July 2010

Between April and July 2010 Northamptonshire Archaeology undertook a programme of watching briefs and open area excavation at the southern fringe of Market Place, Kettering. The truncated remains of 18th - 20th century tenements were revealed, comprising stone wall foundations, stone and brick-lined cellars and pits. In assocation were assemblages of pottery, clay tobacco pipe, animal bone and other finds. Documentary research identified these as the remnants of commercial premises and provided details of their occupancy throughout the later post-medieval period.
