Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Six seasons of excavations extended the villa plan already known from excavations of its east and north wings in the 1930s, to reveal an agricultural and residential complex arranged around three sides of a courtyard. An aisled building forming the west wing was fully excavated while the previously partly excavated north wing was re-excavated to reveal a bath-house suite at its west end. New features in the east part and an apse associated with the central room, unrecognised earlier, were also revealed. These buildings overlay an earlier layout of stone buildings on a different alignment. Although not directly dated, the latter seem likely to be of late-first- and second-century date to be succeeded by the courtyard buildings in the second century. These were successively enlarged with a final phase of rebuilding late in the fourth century when some rooms were used for corn-drying. The complexity of the later Roman sequence and the presence of objects more usually found in post-Roman contexts suggests that use of the building may have continued after the formal end of the Roman Province.
