To the east of Honington are earthwork remains of an Iron Age fort, measuring by with defensive banks and ditches. There a hoard of Roman coins was found in 1691, although an investigation in 1976 could find no evidence of Roman occupation. The 1885
view of the earthworks "on the heath near the village" is that it is the site of a Roman Camp with fosse and vallum.
In the Domesday account Honington is written as "Hondintone", "Hundindune" and "Hundinton". Before the Conquest lordship was held by Godwin of Barrowby, and after by Ivo Tallboys. The village belonged to the historical wapentake of Winnibriggs and Threo.
