Description
Site code: 240991 The majority of the archaeological remains were Romano-British in date, of a single phase of activity dating to the 2nd century, and possibly extending into the 3rd century AD. The features comprised seven ditches, two pits and two undated postholes. The finds assemblage was modest but provided good dating for most features. The pottery and environmental remains provided evidence of rural domestic activity, with crop processing occurring in the vicinity. Comparisons with a nearby excavation south of Oundle Road places this site within a larger landscape of Romano-British rural settlement and agriculture. The features are of similar morphology and date and the pottery assemblage is very similar in type.
