Full Description
{1} Towcester (SP690480). A flattened mound on the Abbey Homesteads estate, south-west of Towcester, was examined to establish whether it was a burial mound, associated with the earlier finding of a pagan Saxon sword mount in the immediate vicinity. A ditch of the Roman period was uncovered, but there was no evidence of a later burial.
