Evaluation at 143 Oundle Road, Peterborough

Oxford Archaeology East undertook an archaeological evaluation at 143 Oundle Road, Peterborough (TL 18529 97823) on the 8th and 9th of June 2015. Two trenches, 5m in length, were excavated within the proposed development area. Modern make up layers were observed in both trenches, with those in Trench 1 reaching depths of 1.2m. Brick footings and a floor for a ?Victorian or later building were also observed, at a depth of approximately 1.2m. Trench 2 contained a stone surface, running north-east to south-west, possibly 17th century in date and may have been associated with a long barn that stands along the northern boundary of the development area.
