ENN108880 - Irthlingborough Nene Valley Community Project, 2017 (Excavation)

{1} A carved stone block was found during the community excavation. {2} The 2017 excavation area measured 10m by 20m and revealed several pits and the remains of two rectangular stone-built Roman buildings. The southern building was the earlier, probably dating to the early to middle Roman period, while the northern building was associated with a large assemblage of later Roman pottery. The northern building was better preserved and had originally been the more substantial of the two. The southern building had an internal floor surface of flat limestone and was associated with an occupation layer and metalled surface or demolition layer of limestone. A piece of relief sculpture depicting a mythical scene was recovered during cleaning of this area.
