Full Description
{1} Roman settlement (?)(SP 784753) probably lay on the site of the deserted village of Faxton, on Northampton Sand at 137 m. above OD. During excavations in 1968 Roman pottery and two Roman coins were recovered from the medieval crofts on the S and E sides of the village. The excavator suggested that this material had been washed down the hillside from an assumed Roman site above, perhaps near the medieval manor house site. Subsequent field-walking on the manor house site, now ploughed has revealed more Roman pottery .
