Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Three RB sites were excavated in 1961--66 in response to identified threats that eventually led to the destruction of all three sites. The site at Bozeat comprised a stone-based, circular structure, of probable domestic use and late second- and third-century date. The site at Higham Ferrers revealed three phases of RB occupation. A rectangular stone building of second-century date was succeeded by stone quarrying on part of the site. A third phase of occupation, from the late-third to the mid-fourth centuries, comprised an unusual rectangular building with rounded corners. The remains of a mid-fourth-century coin hoard and some sherds of Saxon pottery were also found on the site. At Great Oakley, the remains of timber structures, including six post holes of a round house, were succeeded by a stone-founded, aisled building of broadly second-century date. This was interpreted as a farmstead, although no associated field system was recorded. Although limited in their extent, each of these excavations has provided useful information on Roman Northamptonshire. | |||||||||
