Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavation in advance of new houses on land to the rear of the George Inn, Glapthorn Road, Oundle examined Iron Age and Roman settlement and an Anglo-Saxon cemetery. A few dispersed pits are dated to the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age. A roundhouse ring ditch marks the origin of a late Iron Age/early Roman settlement of the mid-first century AD. By the early second century a system of ditched enclosures had been created. In the early third century there was an expansion of settlement, including the provision of a trackway, with modification of the system continuing through the fourth century. In the earlier phases the domestic focus may have lain in an adjacent area to the west, probably surrounded by a timber palisade at one stage, but this focus only became clearly evident in the late-third century when a walled rectilinear enclosure was created. This indicates that the settlement was flourishing and wealthy, perhaps then comprising a small stone villa, but the principal house lay beyond the excavated area. The domestic compound opened to the east into two ditched enclosures, which in the fourth century contained a T-shaped corn drier and other ovens/hearths, as an area involved in farming the attached estate. A small Anglo-Saxon cemetery, containing ten inhumation burials, occupied part of a former Roman enclosure. Radiocarbon dating and the artefact assemblages date the cemetery to between the mid-sixth and mid-seventh centuries AD. Furrows of the medieval ridge and furrow field system, and a series of recent land drains, ran across the site. | ||||
