Abstract/Summary

This collection comprises images and GIS data from a programme of Archaeological Observation, Investigation, Recording, Analysis and Publication (OIRAP) undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the construction of two semi-detached dwellings at 11 Old Town, Brackley, Northamptonshire. Work was undertaken between July 2017 and August 2018. The remains of six pits were revealed during the groundworks, which due to the constraints of the development groundworks were not fully exposed. A single pit provided ceramic evidence of medieval origin comprising the remains of coarse ware pottery, of domestic usage. The pottery dated to the 12th and 14th centuries and likely relates to domestic activity around the historic core of Old Town, concentrated near the church to the south-west. Two undated pits are putatively of the same period, with other undated pits likely associated with activity of more recent date. The location of these archaeological remains can be associated with activity along Church Lane and perhaps street frontage buildings evident on historic mapping.
