Monument record 895/0/42 - Possible Roman roadside settlement, Watling Lodge

Geophysical survey on the west side of the A5 Watling Street identified a series of rectilinear roadside enclosures, possibly field or property boundaries. There were no obvious internal features. These plots probably mark the southern limit of the hinterland of Bannaventa

{1} Geophysical survey was undertaken in 2016 along the western side of Watling Street to attempt to define the southern limits of the Bananventa agricultural hinterland. Two areas were surveyed; in the northern area a series of rectilinear enclosures defined probable property or field boundaries of Roman date, but no definite archaeological features were observed in the southern area suggesting the southern boundary had been identified.
