Description: | Site of a Roman villa facing southeast on a slope near the river Evenlode. Excavations took place in 1813-16 and again in 1910-11and coin evidence suggest the villa was occupied from the late 2nd to the 5th century AD. During this time from the first structure of a rectangular block the building underwent two major reconstructions. In the final form the buildings were arranged along three sides of a rectangular courtyard with an internal corridor, the south east side of the courtyard being enclosed by a wall with a small gatehouse and porters lodge. In 1943 Riley observed and photographed from the air a southwest extension to the villa. | Subjects: | Agriculture And Subsistence Villa Domestic | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | National Monuments Record | Identifier: | http://pastscape.english-heritage.org.uk... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
