Bannaventa, Archaeological site in Northamptonshire, England
The settlement lies along the historic Watling Street, spanning an area of 13.5 acres with fortified boundaries near Norton and Whilton villages.
During Roman occupation, Bannaventa functioned as a military settlement positioned between Lactodorum and Venonis, serving travelers on major trade routes.
The name Bannaventa originates from Celtic language elements, combining terms that reference both geographical features and potential ceremonial purposes.
The archaeological location remains on private land without public access, though researchers continue investigations through authorized excavation programs.
Archaeological findings at the site include Constantinian coins and structural remains that indicate continuous human activity from the first through second centuries.
