Abstract/Summary
Five seasons of work were undertaken at a Roman site at Barnwell during 1973 and 1985-8 by the Middle Nene Archaeological Group. The site appeared to focus on an aisled building, which had undergone several phases of development, including a late bath suite. Surrounding the building was a series of gated yards. Of particular note were three very large pits, up to 1.5m deep, which were dug close to the building, one of which produced a remarkable collection of lead objects and a large column-like piece of limestone. One pit, which was close to the later bath extension added to the aisled building, had a revetment of timber posts with planking, behind which hard core material had been dumped to provide a walk-way around the extended building. Occupation extended from the late 1st century, through the Hadrianic period and into the late Roman period. A series of four postholes were associated with Saxon occupation.
