Cosgrove, Northamptonshire

Cosgrove is a village in Northamptonshire notable for an extensive Roman villa, bath house, and temple complex south-east of Cosgrove Hall. Discovered in 1957 when Roman pottery was ploughed up, excavations in the 1950s-60s revealed a well-preserved bath house and a double-corridor villa built around AD 100, arranged around a large courtyard covering over 1 hectare. Finds include an urn of 60 silver denarii and medallions of Constantine I, Valentinian II, and Magnus Maximus. The site, occupied from the 1st to late 4th century, is a Scheduled Monument now listed on the Heritage at Risk register.
