Summary : Site of a possible Roman villa at Muncen Farm. Examination of the arable land immediately south of St Andrew's Church produced fragments of Roman tile, possibly tegula or box flue. Following geophysical survey and fieldwalking, a series of 1metre square test pits uncovered evidence for substantial foundations, traces of a hypocaust, in situ tesserae, glass and painted wall plaster.
