Abstract/Summary

Desk-based archaeological assessment and trial excavation were carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology for Anglian Water Services Ltd in May 1996 along the route of a proposed water pipeline to the north of Deanshanger, Northants. In addition, a watching brief was undertaken during construction of the pipeline between June and September 1996. Examination of historical maps identified houses and lanes associated with the dispersed hamlet of Puxley within the Forest of Whittlewood. While trial excavation adjacent to Puxley Grange Farm proved sterile, the watching brief identified findspots of Roman and Saxon material, together with metalled surfaces and medieval pottery related to Puxley hamlet.
