Summary

The excavation of a foundation trench against the western side of the proposed residential housing scheme exposed a complete Nene Valley colour-coated beaker, dated from the 2nd to 3rd centuries AD. The beaker indicated the presence of a Roman cremation burial, but was recovered not from a burial context, but from the bucket of the mechanical excavator.
