Monument record TQ 67 SE 15 - Chalk Roman villa

Summary

A Roman building, possibly a villa, excavated in 1962 and found to have been destroyed by fire during the late 3rd century AD. Also found were several pits including the graves of 3 infants and a rubbish tip with up to mid 1st century AD pottery, some of which may have been Iron Age. East of this site a chalk wall, a hypocaust and a number of tiles had been excavated in 1959. This site was later built over but at a later date, remains of a complex Roman bath house with hypocausts was discovered nearby, west of Castle Lane.
