Viggen Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 A unique project to map the vast extent of a Roman settlement will take place in Bradford on Avon. Archaeologist Mark Corney, working with his team of 20 for the third year on the excavation of the Roman villa site in St Laurence School playing fields, hopes to map the settlement. He predicts it extends as far north as Atworth, as far south as the northern fringes of Trowbridge and as far west as the River Avon. The villa would have been a wealthy landowner's house and there would have been a network of tenant farms and settlements extending out. full article at Wiltshire Times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
