Roman limestone wall unearthed at ancient Irchester site

Scott said over three weeks, 45 people were on the site and about 1,200 school children attended.

Staff from the Northamptonshire Archaeological Resource Centre and the Chester House Estate were also involved.

“We knew that Irchester had substantial walls, but very little was known about how they were constructed, what they might have looked like, the size and how the walls related to building structures within the town.

“You can see the foundations, the construction of the wall and also a huge sort of rampart.

“It was so exciting, it was so beautifully constructed and we thought it might have been constructed from ironstone, local stone, but actually it’s a beautiful limestone wall and parts of it were still in really fantastic condition.”
