SNN112184 - Excavation of A Medieval Tenement at Deene End, Weldon, Northamptonshire 2001

Excavation in advance of new housing on the southern street-frontage of Deene End, Weldon examined the remains of late twelfth century post-built structures and quarrying, and a medieval stone-built range, including a kitchen and bakehouse, dating to the thirteenth century. In the final phase iron smelting was being carried out within the tenement and the debris was deposited around the building range. The presence of a small quantity of imported pottery suggests that the occupants were of above average wealth. Extensive medieval quarrying and post-medieval and recent features were also recorded.
