Abstract: |
In May and June 2012, an archaeological excavation was carried out by Northamptonshire Archaeology, on behalf of CgMs Consulting acting for Redrow Homes (South Midlands), on land at Glebe Road, Market Harborough, Leicestershire. The works identified Roman enclosures and a droveway beginning in the late 1st century AD and continuing until the 4th century. Two inhumation burials were recorded including a decapitation burial, probably interred in the 4th century. The site was the western margin to a probable substantial field system located to east of the excavation area. During the 6th or 7th centuries activity resumed on the site with the excavation of three isolated pits, indicating Saxon settlement within the vicinity. The site was traversed by remnant furrows of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation. |
