Full Description
24 sherds of Roman pottery were found in this location in October 2011, during systematic field walking conducted to inform the construction of a new water pipeline. The assemblage was largely of a utilitarian nature, and was mostly comprised of locally produced domestic sandy coarse wares, predominantly Sandy Grey wares. Occasional sherds of Nene Valley colour coated fine wares were included, however, and may indicate the presence of a Romano-British settlement or farmstead in the vicinity. {1}{2}
