Archaeology South-East was commissioned to carry out an archaeological excavation situated at the junction of Preston Road and Springfield Road, Brighton. The site has been known since the 1870s to contain one of Brighton’s most well-known archaeological monuments, the Springfield Road or Preston Roman villa. Excavations in the early 20th century uncovered a number of walls relating to at least five rooms, some of which contained tessellated floors. The excavations reported here located a small surviving area of Roman stratigraphy including walls, a chalk-lined well, rubbish pits and a burial. Two stone wall foundations were identified, although one had been severely truncated by 19th- century pitting, and the other survived mainly as a robber trench. Several possible floor deposits of mortar were recognised, together with a very small surviving patch of coarse tessellated floor. An important assemblage of artefacts and pottery sheds some light on the activities of the inhabitants. The new findings are considered in relation to the previous work undertaken at the site and an updated overview of the villa plan is presented. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
