North Raunds Saxon and Medieval Settlement is a complex archaeological site in Northamptonshire that encompasses settlement remains spanning the Saxon and medieval periods. Excavations have revealed evidence of sustained occupation from the early Saxon period through the medieval era, with structures and artefacts indicating domestic and possibly ecclesiastical activity. The site preserves stratified deposits that have contributed significantly to understanding Anglo-Saxon settlement patterns and the transition to medieval occupation in the East Midlands.
