SNN117152 - Stanwick Quarry, Northamptonshire: Raunds Area Project. Placing the Roman coins from Stanwick within their wider context.

The excavations at Stanwick, Northamptonshire, were carried out by Historic England in advance of gravel extraction. Trenching covered over thirty hectares and the resulting assemblage of finds and bioarchaeological material remains the largest archaeological collection from the county. The fieldwork revealed a prehistoric ritual landscape and field systems succeeded by rural settlement dating from the early Iron Age through the Romano-British period. Activity at the villa continued into the fifth century AD. The site produced a nationally significant assemblage of 12 Iron Age and 3,730 Roman coins. This report places this assemblage within its wider landscape context building on the assessment published by the author in Research Report Series 37 2021. This is undertaken utilising a new corpus of almost 500,000 Roman coins recorded from Roman sites across Britain which stemmed from this initial research into the environs of Raunds (Henry, 2023a; Henry, 2024).
