Title Excavations in Oundle, Northamptonshire: Work Carried Out at Stoke Doyle Road 1979, Blackpot Lane 1985 and St. Peter's Church 1991

Abstract/Summary

Three small sites excavated in Oundle provide evidence of an Anglo Saxon presence in and around the town. An isolated sunken floored building on the outskirts of the town has produced pottery of the 5th century, two conjoined sites in the centre of the town attest occupation from the early-middle saxon period onwards and contemporary finds from the churchyard, together with the structural evidence from the parish church itself, suggest that the church originated as a large late Saxon building.
