Roads and religion: an excavation on the Fosse Way at Enderby

David Ingham – Project Manager, Albion Archaeology

The development of a new logistics hub straddling the Fosse Way at Enderby led to a 6ha excavation in 2025-26 before construction began. Evaluation of the site had identified an Iron Age farmstead and assorted Roman remains but still left a few surprises: A large, walled Roman temenos (religious enclosure) containing a shrine; and a metalled Roman road perpendicular to the Fosse Way. In this talk, David Ingham, Project Manager at Albion Archaeology, will give an account of the excavation and begin to explore the development of the site from the late Iron Age through to the end of the Roman period, as well as tracing the subsequent development of the Fosse Way through the millennia.
