Abstract

For a number of years the writer has harboured doubts over the correct interpretation of a number of features found in the 1960s. The millennium year presented an opportunity to reinvestigate part of the site to test whether these doubts were justified. What was once believed to have been an external chalk floor proved to be the floor of a timber roundhouse and what was once believed to have been a stone cottage proved to be a porticus linking the villa with the baths. Several phases of timber structures were found but the most remarkable discovery of all was evidence for a possible bathing pool predating the example discovered earlier.
