Full Description
{1} By the mid 5th century AD eastern elements of the main villa range were demolished to provide a levelled metalled surface or terrace for a timber phase of building situated in the old villa courtyard. After a significant period of use this timber building was itself destroyed in the mid 6th century AD by fire. It is difficult to determine the character of the timber structure because of plough damage but it could be interpreted either as a large barn or as an Arthurian timber hall.
