| Villa (Site) |
West Part. Over seventy rooms belonging to the villa complex have been excavated since the 1950s, several with mosaic floors, and many with hypocausts - the early form of central heating. The span of the occupation of the villa, suggested by the archaeological evidence, is that of the Roman Govenorship of this country, i.e. from the first to the fifth centuries A.D. An important collection of finds from the site have been housed permanantly in a museum building on the site, which is the only villa site in Hampshire open to the public. O.S.A. No. SU11 NW11.
