Bannaventa is a Romano-British settlement and roadside station located near Weston by Welland in Northamptonshire, situated on Watling Street. The site dates to the Roman period and served as a posting station along this major military and commercial route connecting London to the north of Britain. Archaeological investigation has revealed evidence of occupation and infrastructure typical of such roadside establishments, which functioned as stopping points for official couriers, merchants, and military personnel. The settlement declined following the end of Roman rule in the early fifth century, and today the site survives as subsurface archaeological remains with no visible upstanding structures.
