SP 038056. Rescue excavation in advance of school-building recovered fuller details of the villa first dug by Sir John Evans in the 1840s. It was found to comprise one timber and four masonry phases. The late 1st/early 2nd century building was of winged corridor type, built of wattle and daub on flint footings and timber sills; the central room of the main range had decorated plaster walls. After a fire and site-clearance a cob building was erected to a similar but larger plan. The Phase 3 rebuild countered dampness by having its cob walls set on mortared flint dwarf walls. The mosaics of this phase suggest a ?late 2nd century date. In Phase 4 (?3rd century) the villa was reduced in size, and in Phase 5 a hypocaust was installed and some internal modifications made. Occupation continued until mid-4th century at least, possibly much later. A lead seal allows tentative identification of the villa as part of an imperial estate run by a bailiff. | ||||||||||||||
