Excavations at Billingborough between 1975 and 1978 revealed a Middle Bronze Age enclosure and extensive Late Bronze and Early Iron Age salt-making debris. This forms the report on findings from the site, outlining the excavation itself and the finds: Copper alloy objects, iron, flint, terracottas, worked bone and antler, skeletal remains and an important pottery sequence for this region. The final discussion sketches a history of the different phases of the site from the 2nd millennium BC to the 1st century AD.

The large collection of Roman pottery is the first from an excavation in Central Norfolk to receive detailed analysis and indicates fineware flows mostly from the Nene valley....

The Roman aisled villa and house was found to be set within a ditched compound with a network of fields and enclosures and also encompassing a...
