Archaeologists have been working at the Corby development site for about 12 years.
They firstbut during a second phase of work in 2021, they found an intact Roman road that showed Corby joined to surrounding settlements.
"Its shape looks like a buckle but you can see it's not broken off and you can see where the rivets went through," Mr Gilmour said. The archaeologist added that it was possible to date the find to the 2nd or early 3rd Centuries because the Roman army had stopped using them after that. By the middle of the 1st Century, people living in the area focused on iron production and an iron smelting site 1 km away was found in 2006.
