2008-9: geophysically surveyed. 1849 area of excavated bathhouse recognised as disturbed area with a trackway leading to it. This has perpendicular adjoining enclosure/field boundaries (?), with an additional area of structural remains on N side and three further areas of structural remains to the S of the trackway, one of which may be the villa excavated in 1948. The structural remains appear to consists of Ceramic Building Materials and stone suggesting a Roman date. Also various maculae (probably pits).
