A piece of tessellated pavement and a widespread scatter of
tesserae, tiles, pottery and ashes were found (1863) (2) sited
SE 81106744 from Plan (3). The finds, including wall plaster
were presented to Yorks Museum and Malton Literary Institute.
Stone foundations found, the longest of which ran N-S 'for about
40 yards', at its S end was a large, square dressed block of
sandstone with a shaft-hole (2).
Webster, referring to the excavated Ro Villa, 400 yds to the E
(SE 86 NW 3) states "The two sites in such close proximity can
hardly not be associated in some way", and by implication, suggests
this site as an integral part of a complex Ro Settlement. (2-4)
The site was under a root crop at the time of field investigation
and no surface indications were apparent. (5)
NK 19 Listed as a villa. This site's nature, extent and relationship with the nearby villa NK 18 is unknown. The mosaic was of 4th century date. (6) |
