Irthlingborough land south of A6

The evaluation established that the slight depression noted in the field marked the position of a masonry building, probably of medieval date, and lying at the extreme east edge of the medieval village of Irthlingborough. The exact function of the building could not be determinded, although it does not appear to be the documented mill. A parallel has been drawn with the malting house excavated at West Cotton, Northants. After the desertion of the building, its position survived as a hollow in the surrouding ground level.
