Abstract/Summary

71 West Street is located towards the western margin of the historic Saxon and medieval township of Oundle. An archaeological evaluation comprising a desk-based assessment and trial excavation was carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology in advance of the redevelopment of the site. Evidence suggests that this area was located towards a focal area of early-middle Saxon settlement and the desk-based assessment highlighted the potential for the recovery of significant archaeological remains from this period. However, the excavation found archaeology dating only from the late medieval period in the form of a quarry pit and a discontinuous surface of limestone slabs. No archaeology from the Saxon period was present.
