Abstract:		 Excavations at Bignor Roman villa between 1985 and 1990, in association with a programme of conservation and repair, investigated various parts of the site including the main baths, the north-east corner of the villa, and the boundaries of both the domestic and farmyard areas. Investigations undertaken on the site of the main baths in 1985, 1987 and 1988 (Part 1 of this report) revealed evidence for occupation prior to the construction of the baths, including the masonry footings for half-timbered and masonry structures, and a sequence of constructional phases not only for the heated rooms and cold plunge bath, but also for the development of the courtyard villa itself As a consequence of the excavations the remains of the cold plunge were restored for display (Appendix 1). Plough-damage assessment excavations in 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1990 (Part 2 of this report) re-established the line of the surrounding wall of the villa, and confirmed that the villa had developed in the 4th century AD from a winged-corridor structure, through a phase where two long lines of rooms flanked the approach to the earlier west wing, to a courtyard building with adjoining outer farmyard. Studies of finds from the 1985-1990 excavations provide additional information about both the economy and material culture of the site. This section of the report also includes a brief study of brick and tile found at Bignor before 1985 (Part 3 of this report).
