Abstract/Summary

50 The Green lies at the very centre of Northampton 's historic core. It is located within the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Saxon Northampton. Previous excavations have investigated and published extensive remains dating from the early-middle Saxon period (400-800AD). These surround the site. Boreholes and test-pits dug for geotechnical purposes were also watched by an archaeologist. Their results corroborate details of 1982 fieldwork which noted that between 1 m and 1. 7m of modern overburden covers any significant archaeology on this site, which is also truncated by at least one cellar and a buried tank at the frontage.
