More information : (SU 58203344) Foundations of Roman villa indicated by lines of parched turf and by trial digging. (1)
The site of an R.B. building on Pinglestone Farm, revealed in Sept. 1940 by surface indications and trenching for a water pipe, was partially excavated in 1948. Flint walling and an area of tessellated pavement (remains of a corridor ?) were exposed. Finds included Samian sherds, roof tiles, box flue tiles, painted plaster, pottery and oyster shells. (2-3)
The site, according to Milner's plan, falls at SU 58193342. Here there is a light scatter of tiles, tesserae and flints. See illustration card. (4)
