Description
Training excavation of a Romano-British winged corridor villa and its landscape. The 2005 season was filmed for Time Team's 'Big Roman Dig'. {1} The second phase of archaeological exploration began in 2000 with the commencement of large-scale excavation of the site. During 2001 more of the main villa range was revealed with particular emphasise on trying to understand the layout of the east wing. A suite of three rooms associated with the hypocaust and stoke room of the bath house partially uncovered in 1999/2000 were also investigated. In addition a third building initially identified last year about 100ms to the south west of the villa has been explored. The final area of archaeological interest was a trench cut through a bank and ditch that formed an enclosure around the structural elements of the villa. {2} Some limited trial trenching was carried out in 1999 to establish the level of archaeological survival and area excavation commenced in 2000.
