Abstract: |
Nineteen sites were investigated, dating primarily to the Iron Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods. The earliest remains encountered were a late Bronze Age/early Iron Age pit alignment near Seaton, Rutland. The Iron Age and Roman sites were small rural settlements comprising ditched enclosures, the remains of roundhouses and pits. Settlements were located near Seaton and Caldecott in Rutland, and Swinawe Barn, near Corby, Thorpe Malsor, White Hill Lodge, Great Cransley and Willows Nursery in Northamptonshire. A Roman site near Rushton may be associated with a villa estate. Other sites included part of a Roman field system at Violet Lane, near Corby, and Roman cremation burials near Gretton, Northamptonshire. The settlements mainly date from the later middle Iron Age (2nd century BC) through to the 4th century AD, although there was little evidence for direct continuity of settlement between the Iron Age and Roman periods. An Anglo-Saxon cremation cemetery at Glaston, Rutland is dated to the late 5th century to mid 7th century AD. The remains of 16 individuals, deposited in decorated and plain urns, were recovered, along with a small assemblage of grave goods including a brooch, glass beads, and fragments of a bone comb and mount. Later features generally comprised medieval and post-medieval furrows from ridge and furrow field systems and field boundary ditches. |
