SNN109176 - Archaeological Excavation at Booth Rise, Northampton: Assessment Report and Updated Project Design

Archaeological excavation was carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology between September 2012 and January 2013, on behalf of William Davis Homes. Part of an early Romano-British rural settlement was uncovered as well as a small number of late Iron Age pits and early Anglo-Saxon settlement. The ditch systems were constructed in the early 1st century AD and were maintained and modified through to the middle to late 2nd century AD when the area was abandoned. The core of the settlement associated with these features was not within the boundaries of the excavated area, although the relatively large pottery assemblages often comprising large unabraded sherds, a burial and a pottery kiln indicate that domestic structures lay nearby.
