More information : [SE 9104 1813] Roman Villa [G.S.] (site of) (1)

Originally built, at least in part, in the second century, and reconstructed in the fourth. Four pavements, two bath-suites, etc. discovered. A large number of associated finds includes coins (Vespasian to Constantine). Excavated several times between 1748 (after first discovery of the pavement in 1747) and 1961. Cropmarks of the villa seen from the air by J.T. Hayes in 1960 [at SE 90941796] (10). (1-10)

Scunthorpe Museum hold a large collection of material from this villa including pottery, coins, glass and a pavement. A pavement is also held by the Lower Hall Scunthorpe and is in the main foyer. The site is under crop, a later excavation is scheduled for August of this year. (11)

Further excavations by Mr.I.M. Stead for the M.O.W. found a large circular building, possibly a temple, with a concrete floor and the footings of four pillars, each 6ft. by 4ft., which supported the roof. Since 1958 excavations have uncovered three sides of a courtyard 300ft. across. On the north side an aisled building, 155ft. long by 55ft., houses livestock, and contained three bath suites. On the opposite side was a 100ft. building housing a granary, corn-drying kiln, domestic and live-stock quarters. Five mosaics were found. The centre range of buildings and four more mosaics have been much mutilated by ploughing. (12)

Interim excavation report. (13)

HU 24 Excavations in advance of quarrying began under I M Stead in 1958 and are continuing under R Goodburn. These revealed the foundations of three circular huts with post-holes followed by a group of second to fourth century AD stone-built aisled houses arranged round three sides of a yard. One winged-corridor building and a stone circular building. The famous Orpheus mosaic came from this site. A field system is also being examined. (14)

Cropmarks show the villa site and regular field enclosure systems. (15)
