Abstract/Summary

Six evaluation trenches were excavated on land associated with the former railway club at Broad Green, Wellingborough. These suggest a site which has only localised archaeology present. Several postholes in the north-western corner of the site have been dated to the medieval period and indicate a discrete focus of activity. At the north-eastern corner of the site two parallel ditches mark a short surviving alignment of the former course of Outlaw Lane which may originate in the medieval period. Elsewhere on site, there has been considerable disturbance from 19th century quarrying and terracing associated with the construction and growth of a villa, later the railway club buildings, in the 19th - late 20th century.
