Find Spot record 2347/1/1 - Unlocated Iron Age and Roman finds from Oundle

Findspots of Iron Age and Roman material from Oundle include pottery vessels, coins and inhumations with pins and brooches - presumably from a cemetery.

{1} Pottery, skeletons, 3 bronze pins, coins - 2 of Claudius, 1 Trojan, 2 Faustina, 1 Constans.

{3} Iron Age and Roman material (from Oundle), mostly unlocated, is recorded but some at least comes from in and around the present town and may indicate a settlement there of considerable size. Part of a Roman cup 'resembling Samian' and stamped OF LIBERTI, possibly Arretine Ware, was found in the early 19th century in Oundle Churchyard. Numbers of Iron Age coins have been found in and around the town. Roman pottery, skeletons, bronze pins, coins and kiln bars have also been found.
