200-300AD

Information

A clue to life as a Roman in Nene Park, is the remains of a large timber barn on Roman Point, probably used for furnace and smithing work for making small tools. Also close by are a well and a shallow tank, which experts think could be for making salt from the then-tidal flow of the River Nene. These features were part of a larger farming complex, known to archaeologists as Lynch Farm, which had several barns similar to this one.
