Monument record TR 36 SW 485 - Corridor House (Building 4) - Minster Roman Villa

Summary

The main villa buildings of Minster Roman Villa were set either inside or around a large rectangular walled enclosure. Situated immediately outside the south-east comer of the walled enclosure lay Building 4 which was one of a pair of structures located at the southern end of the villa enclosure wall, some 80m downhill to the south of the main villa house. This was revealed during excavations at the site in 1999 and again in 2001 and comprised a stone-built corridor house of several phases. It was a substantial rectangular building with stone foundations and it was likley a domestic dwelling. Most probably it was first constructed soon after the middle of the second century and had been abandoned by the middle of the third century (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
