This is a small villa and other structures within an Iron Age/Romano-Britian landscape. 2005 excavations will focus on the area round the villa, investigating magnetic anomalies to the north of the villa, and an early circular structure immediately to the east in addition to two unusually rich burials.

An analysis of the teeth of the burials raises the interesting question of being able to look at the origin of the elite of the area – British or Gallic/ native or Roman, which plays into the wider themes of the nature of the Roman Conquest.
