Overview

History & significance

Air photography site NE of village and site of Roman town is a Romano-British settlement located near Rutland in the East Midlands. The site has been identified and studied principally through aerial photographic survey, which has revealed evidence of Roman occupation and settlement patterns in the landscape. The archaeological remains, visible from the air as cropmarks and soil marks, indicate the presence of a Roman town or substantial settlement of the period, though ground-level excavation and investigation have been limited. Such air photography evidence has proven invaluable in mapping the extent and layout of Romano-British sites where surface archaeology is minimal, allowing understanding of settlement hierarchy and territorial organisation during the Roman period in Britain.
