Full Description
{1} Fotheringhay Lodge Complex. In Nassington parish, a number of ring ditches appear to lie under the [Roman] settlement. All the ring ditches are probably former barrows, but some may be hut circles connected with the settlement.
{2} Fotheringhay Lodge Complex lies in the N.E. of the parish on gravel and limestone, along the edge of the flood-plain of the R. Nene, at about 50 ft. above OD. The major part of the site consists of a Roman 'village' with a main 'street' or trackway running through it. To the S.E. of the settlement is a villa, with which it is presumably associated. In addition there are a number of ring ditches, most of which are probably the remains of round barrows although some may be hut-circles. Other finds of the prehistoric and Roman periods have also been made in the area.
