SNN110050 - Archaeological observation, investigation and recording at Town Farm, 18 High Street, Brackley, Northamptonshire

Archaeological observation, investigation and recording was undertaken at Town Farm, 18 High Street, Brackley, Northamptonshire between August and October 2014. The work was carried out during excavations relating to residential development of the site. The property has operated as a farm since at least the early 19th century with enclosed kitchen gardens at the western end of the site, an area historically part of medieval open fields. The monitoring revealed a stratum of make-up and levelling material directly overlying the natural compact limestone. Remnant garden soil was preserved at the western end of the site. No archaeological features or deposits were identified during the excavation.
