| Abstract: |
A study of the fabric and environs of the villa shows that a large proportion of the visible villa masonry is the product of reconstruction during consolidation following excavations. The environs of the villa were investigated by a combination of geophysical survey, field inspection and topographical measured survey. The surveys show that the Guardianship remains are only part of a much larger building; the villa had a second lower courtyard downslope of the visible remains. Beyond the lower courtyard were other buildings, one of which is probably the structure examined in 1820 by Sir William Hicks. There is also some evidence for tile manufacture or minor industrial activity in this area. Another previously unknown Roman structure (possibly a small temple or shrine) was found on the higher ground above the villa. Includes: |
