Full Description
{1} Roman settlement remains are known from a small-scale excavation by Oundle School.
An obvious concentration of Romano-British pottery can be discerned over an area of c.2ha at the north-west side of WR4 and north-east corner of WR5. This forms part of the Roman settlement known from previous work. The settlement appears to span the Roman period. There is nothing to suggest that the site was anything other than a small rural settlement, however the early middle Saxon pottery recovered from the same area increases its importance as it may imply some continuity, albeit short-lived, into this period.
The paucity of Romano-British material recovered from the remaining areas is notable.
