A HISTORY OF NORTHAMPTONSHIRE 



PoTTERSPURY. — At Moorend Castle, rectangular building with corner towers, stone founda- 

 tions, 'many Roman tiles' [journal of the British Archaeological Association, vii. iii]. 

 But see Baker, ii. 229. I do not think the evidence adequate to call these Roman. 



Pytchley. — Various coins [Archaological yournal, iii. 113]. 



Radstone. — Coins in urn ; the urn is in Northampton Museum. There is a Cold Harbour 

 Farm here, but no trace of any Roman building. 



Raunds. — At Mallows Cotton, villa : see p. 1 94. The alleged Ostorian fort here seems imagi- 

 nary. The earthwork at Mill Cotton [Morton, p. 516] is not Roman. These remains 

 are sometimes classed under Ringstead. 



RiNGSTEAD. — See Raunds. 



RoADE. — Pottery and coins [Mr. Whitbread]. 



Rockingham. — Iron slag, vaguely noted [^Archaologia, xliii. 118; Archaological 'Journal, 

 XXXV. 269]. 



Sewardsley (Shoseley). — Jug of red ware found 1889 in making Towcester and Olney 

 railway [Sir Hy. Dryden]. Doubtful if Roman. 



SouTHORPE. — Pits on each side of Ermine Street (Forty-foot way), dug (according to some) to 

 provide stone for the road. In the pits west of the road coins of circa 150-350 a.d., 

 urns, fibula, glass, burnt bones, wood were found in 1733 and 1753 [Arch^ologia, i. 61 

 (hence Gough, Add. to Camden, ii. 292, and later writers) ; Gough, British Topography, 

 ii. 47 ; drawings in Library of Society of Antiquaries ; Stukeley, Itinerarium, p. 83]. 



At Walcot Park, coins [Morton, p. 532]. Stukeley [Itinerarium, p. 83] incident- 

 ally alludes to a villa here, but I find no other trace of it, and the mention may be an 

 error. 



Spratton. — Coin of Marcus [Mr. George].

Stanion. — Many coins [Morton, p. 532 ; Stukeley's Diaries, iii. 67]. Stanion slone was 



used in the Weldon villa. 

 Stanwick. — Villa: see p. 194. 



Stoke Bruerne. — Light-coloured urn [Mr. Coy]. Doubtful if Roman. 

 Stratford (Old). — A few coins found in tlic fields near the bridge by which Watling Street 



crosses the Ouse to Stony Stratford. Hence Morton, p. 504, and Bridges, i. 304, put 



Lactodurum here ; Baker, ii. 138, rightly rejects the idea. 

 Sutton. — Suburb of Castor : see p. 174. 

 Tansor. — Urns, coins [Stukeley's Carausius, i. 170]. 

 Thenford. — Villa : see p. 201. 



Thornhaugh. — Villa in Bedford Purlieus: see p. 189. 

 Statues elsewhere in the same : see p. 190. 

 Gold coin at Sakerwell (Sacrewell), half a mile east of village [Morton, p. 532 ; 



hence Gibson's Castor, ed. 2, p. 63].
