Evaluation by A and D Graham of SyAS to investigate the results of the 2002 fieldwalking survey. A concentrated area of tesserae revealed a short distance away from the area of the main villa complex was examined. A substantial post pit was revealed, possibly part of a large timber building. The backfill contained tesserae and the feature is therefore likely to be Roman in date. However, the main surface dump of tesserae probably comes from the nearby 19th century excavations on the site. A further trench nearer the main concentration of finds recorded in 2002 revealed evidence for building rubble, suggesting that the fieldwalking was probably accurate in recording the positions of the structures. Actual structural deposits were not encountered however, and are thought to be well below the limits of the plough-soil and thus unaffected by modern agricultural activities. (388) (SyAC 96)
