| More information : HU 10 SK 939967 Gravel Pit Farm. The villa site was first reported in 1957 (a). Debris is concentrated over an area 100 x 300 ft? - but possibly beyond. Dressed stone, tegula imbrex and box flue tiles found throughout the main area with fragments of painted wall plaster and window glass. In 1989 a line of stone painted plaster and tesserae were discovered; the farmer is still removing all large stones from the site. A track to the north of the site appears to have existed before enclosure; the field to the north of the track contains a few dressed stones, tile and greyware, but no obvious concentrations. There is a possiblity that two other small buildings may have existed beyond the main site. Many small finds. Geophysical survey by English Heritage (b) in 1989 detected intense activity compatible with remains of a villa. (1) |
