Description
{2} In 2002 proposals to create a cover building [for the mosaic] were accepted in principle as the basis for a Scheduled Monument Consent application. As a result the Bellerophon pavement was fully excavated, together with an adjacent area to identify possible locations for stanchions and building foundations,3 where estate staff also believed a second mosaic had been discovered during the 1990s. The excavations indeed revealed the fragmentary remains of a second, probably figured pavement; Mapping approx. - digitised by eye - CHECK!
