Abstract:		 In 1991 part of a mosaic floor depicting Bellerophon slaying the Chimaera was exposed on land belonging to the Rowler Estate at Croughton, Northants. The pavement was photographed and reburied and the site subsequently assessed by English Heritage prior to scheduling in 1995. During the course of investigation, geophysical survey and trial-trenching established that the mosaic had been laid in a stone-built house, which was part of a more extensive settlement first occupied in the late second century. In 1998 the Rowler Estate changed hands and the potential to place the mosaic on display beneath a cover building was discussed by the new owner with English Heritage. In 2002 proposals to create a cover building were accepted in principle as the basis for a Scheduled Monument Consent application. As a result the Bellerophon pavement was fully excavated, together with an adjacent area to identify possible locations for stanchions and building foundations, where estate staff also believed a second mosaic had been discovered during the 1990s. The excavations indeed revealed the fragmentary remains of a second, probably figured pavement
