Abstract: |
Three trenches were excavated west of the known Roman villa site at Box. Previous work by BAT had shown that Roman walls and structures extended westwards from the previous known site of the villa, however, terracing and building work relating to the present Box House Hotel made the survival of any such deposits uncertain. In fact the corner of the study area revealed substantail building features of Roman date, a very large stone capped culvert in trench 1 and a Roman ditch in trench 3. All these features had stratified deposits associated including what appeared to be a series of layers of charcoal and ash, these were of such quality and size that they were considered likely to be part of the Roman villa which would therefore have had to have been twice the size as previously established.
