Description
{1} Archaeological excavations were carried out in advance of the construction of balancing ponds and associated infrastructure as part of the wider East Kettering development. Extensive Roman remains were revealed, with potentially the most significant being a large area dedicated to crop processing, with features including stone- and clay-lined tanks and two corn driers. Charred plant remains from this area include germinated Spelt along with large quantities of sprouts from germinated grains, indicative of largescale brewing. Site code: XNNEKE15
