Abstract:		 A previously unknown Roman villa was located during monitoring of groundworks on a new housing development. The exposed buildings were cleaned and planned before they were backfilled for long-term preservation. An adjacent area containing cut features of both Iron Age and Roman date was excavated prior to road construction. A roundhouse ring gully and a scatter of pits are dated from the mid-1st century BC to the mid-1st century AD. The main villa building was a single strip building with front and rear corridors. A room at the northern end contained a channelled hypocaust and had been decorated with painted wall plaster. at the opposite end a pillared hypocaust had supported the opus signinum floor of a hot room, but the remainder of the bath suite was not exposed. The pottery and coins span the later 1st to 4th centuries, but 2nd and 3rd century material predominated. The villa was probably not of high status. Geophysical survey and limited excavation demonstrated that the main building stood within a 70m square ditched enclosure, with a nmber of recuts, the earliest being a timber palisade. A series of hearths and ovens/furnaces to the north of the villa represent a final phase os industrial usage following abandonment of parts of the amin building. Some inhumation burials of uncertain date were recovered to the west and north of the building.
