SNN116932 - Land at 13 Sanders Lane, Potterspury, Northamptonshire: Archaeological Observation, Investigation, Recording, Analysis and Publication

In April 2018 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out archaeological monitoring on land at 13 Sanders Lane, Potterspury, Northamptonshire (NGR SP 75705 43273; Figs. 1 & 2). The monitoring was commissioned by Lodge Park Limited and was undertaken during groundworks associated with the construction of a detached dwelling within existing garden land adjacent to No 13. A test pit evaluation was carried out by AS prior to the determination of the planning application, as required by NCC (Pozorski 2017). Two test pits were excavated. The evaluation revealed a late post-medieval (18th – 19th century) pit. Residual medieval (12th – 14th), late medieval (15th – 16th) and post-medieval (17th – 18th century) pottery was found within the topsoil and made ground layers. The pit may have been a clay extraction pit associated with the kilns known from neighbouring plots. The monitoring of the excavation of the foundation trenches for the new dwelling revealed only modern made groud layers. No archaeological features or finds were present
