Monument record 9191/1/4 - Early C2nd Romano-British Round Houses

{2} The ‘proto villa’ was in the early C2nd AD demolished and supplanted by a new native mixed farming estate focused on two stone round houses located within an enclosure and associated with inland field systems. The site remained like this during the 2nd century AD before being totally reorganised in the late 3rd century AD with the construction of a large 2 hectare bank and ditched compound within which a winged corridor villa and bath house were erected. The earlier round houses were maintained and utilised during a transition period before they were demolished at some time in the mid 4th century AD.
