Monument record TR 25 NW 14 - Wingham Roman Villa

Summary

A Roman building, described by Wheeler as "resembling a bath-house or the bathrooms of a villa", was excavated in 1881-2 in a field called "The Vineyards". Several building phases were evident. The building had a hypocaust and a quern was found on a tesselated pavement. Finds included a little Samian ware pottery and coins ranged from Victorinus to Magnentius. Additional material was found nearby in 1955 and may represent a scatter of occupational material from the site.
