Fifth season of fieldwork undertaken by D Bird for the Roman Studies Group of SyAS. Survey and test pitting followed by excavation continue to improve knowledge of the villa and its surroundings. The main results were a new and enigmatic building west of the villa; the enclosure wall confirmed even further west than this; increased support for the theory that there were at least three main periods of building on the villa site; further knowledge of the tiled base area found in 2009; and full understanding of the tile kiln, with the discovery late in the excavation of evidence suggesting that it was standing on top of an earlier one. Archaeomagnetic sampling of the flue of the upper kiln was undertaken by the MOLA Geomatics Team to obtain a last-firing date, and this is estimated to have occurred within the date range AD 205–25.
