More information : (SP7470) Recorded in the reference as 'Site No 8', relating to 'aspects of the winged corridor villa of Britain'. A corridor with
a room projecting wing-like at only one end was added around 300 AD. It is probable that the plan at Brixworth was symmetrical and could be included in a discussion of unit system villa. (1)
The NGR provided in authority 1 is location only, a more exact location is NGR (SP74667188). (2)
The villa was first built between 70 and 100 AD as a strip house. Around 170 AD two of the rooms and a bipartite unit are merged. Half a century later the building becomes more complex. (3) |
