Abstract: |
A detailed geophysical Fluxgate gradiometer survey was undertaken on an arable field. The study area included a rectangular, level area of stony ground (now set aside) beneath which a geometric mosaic of Roman date was recently discovered by metal detectorists. Features identified by the survey included a rectilinear enclosure with possible post holes, pits and gullies, a ditched roadway, a stone built structure and thermo-remnant features which could be pottery kilns or smelting furnaces. The survey produced convincing evidence for a three aisled courtyard building with a suggestion that an apsidal extension for a bath house may have existed on the western side. The building dimensions were consistent with a Roman villa or other high status monument. The course of a Roman road was also identified. [Au(adp)] |
