SNN110456 - Archaeological monitoring at 42 High Street, Brigstock, Northamptonshire, August 2016

An archaeological investigation was conducted during the excavation of footings for a new dwelling at 42 High Street Brigstock, Northamptonshire. The site lies in an archaeologically sensitive area, located within the core of the Saxon (AD 410-1066) and medieval (AD 1066-1540) settlement of Brigstock, best represented by the parish church of St Andrew’s that has a Saxon tower. Iron Age (800 BC-AD 42) and Romano-British (AD 42-410) remains are also known from the general vicinity. The monitoring of the excavation of the footings revealed a possible early modern pit. No other archaeological features were recorded. A single sherd of 19th century date was retrieved but not retained.
