Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out at Barn Farm, Weston by Welland Northamptonshire (SP 769 913) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services between 12th and 18th April 2012. The work took place during topsoil stripping and ground reduction for a new circular barn on a site which has previously produced evidence suggesting that it was occupied by a Roman marching camp. The current intervention was located on the presumed interior of the camp and revealed pits, gullies, post holes and rows of stake holes, dating predominantly to the late Iron Age/Roman transitional period. Although there are hints of more than one phase of activity at the site, many of the features are likely to be associated with the marching camp. On of the pits was thought to represent an oven, which probably originally had a wattle and daub structure. A deposit of late Iron Age coins and an antler fragment were deposited at the base of the feature. The archive will be held by ULAS until such time as appropriate facilities are available at Northamptonshire County Council under the site code BFW 12. |
