Abstract/Summary
MOLA Northampton was commissioned by Northampton Borough Council Asset Management via the Delapré Abbey Preservation Trust to undertake a programme of Archaeological Observation, Investigation, Recording, Analysis and Publication (AOIRAP) during structural investigations of the garden walls of Delapré Abbey, Northampton. A total of eight trial holes were excavated by hand by contractors and observed by MOLA. The recorded deposits were either the infill of construction cuts of the walls or made ground. Fragments of ceramic building material, concrete and glass were noted but not retained and suggest that the deposits likely date from the 19th century onwards.
