Monument record TR 03 NE 24 - Romano-British building S of Burch's Rough, Aldington
Summary
Romano-British villa. A trial trench in the surface scatter, dug in December 1972, identified a junction of cemented ragstone wall foundations and many small marble tesserae. Coins dating from 289-350 AD were also found on the surface. Little more is known about the site: the evidence from a two metre by one and a half metre trench indicated a substantial building with tesserae, coins and pottery.
