Full Description
{1} Information about the road layout primarily comes from aerial photographic evidence and suggests potentially quite complex development around a junction between a side road heading in the general direction of Duston. a possible road to the northeast running across the Nene valley towards the Late Iron Age and Roman settlement at Duston. A trial excavation at SP 4984 3734, c.500m to the east of the settlement failed to identify the main road, though surface quarrying for limestone was likely to have previously removed all traces (Ivens 1997).
