A Roman villa and its changing use in Northamptonshire


Before I was sharing ideas about the discovery of a fifth century mosaic at Chedworth I had come across an article online from Current Archaeology about the investigation of a villa site near Corby in Northamptonshire. In this case the estate boasted in its 1st to 3rd century phase a temple-mausoleum of some scale, and then in the 3rd to 4th century the abandoned tomb or worship site was reused to accommodate a substantial tile making complex. The article can be read at BUILDING A ROMAN VILLA
