SNN108824 - Archaeological Monitoring and Recording at Church Barn, Fotheringhay, Northamptonshire

A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken at Church Barn, Fotheringhay. The investigations monitored the excavations of foundation trenches for a new garage. The investigations revealed a sequence of natural, subsoil, post medieval and modern deposits. A thick subsoil had developed upon the natural layers into which a refuse pit had been excavated, perhaps during the later use of the site as a farmyard. Finds retrieved during the investigations include a single fragment of medieval foor tile along with 16th - 17th century pottery. Animal bone was also recovered.
