Planning permission was granted by East Northamptonshire Council for the erection of a new house with two associated garages at White Gables, Brooks Road, Raunds, Northamptonshire. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the archaeological works. The investigations revealed medieval and post-medieval ditches on a NW-SE alignment within the footprint of the proposed building. The function of the ditches is uncertain. It is likely that they represent boundary and/or drainage ditches. Remains of a modern hedgerow were also recorded. A test pit excavated within the footprint of the proposed new garages revealed no archaeological remains. No evidence for medieval or post-medieval settlement was revealed within the investigation area. However, the good preservation of pottery within the ditch fills and a moderate assemblage of charred plant remains suggest the presence of a focus of domestic activity in the vicinity. The late Saxon pottery recovered from the subsoil is the north-easternmost discovery of remains of this period within Raunds. While it was residual in a medieval context it is nevertheless of importance as it indicates some level of Saxon activity in the vicinity of the development site.
