Pit report for 1846892 - Now showing Pit no. 01

The selected site for a test pit is in the back garden of an C18 thatched cottage in a quiet lane in the village of Pytchley, Northamptonshire. The cottage is a Grade II listed building and was built around 1719, at which time we believe it belonged to the Manor House estate. The test pit will be dug very close to the back of the house, just outside of the dining room window. Prior to modernisation this window was a door to a cottage that has been absorbed by the cottages to either side. It is hoped to find some artefacts left by earlier residents.
