Roman Villa Complex found in the East of England

CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND—Cambridge News reports that a construction project near the town of Bottisham has uncovered a large Roman settlement, including a villa complex that dates between A.D. 200 and 400. One of those buildings is thought to have been a bath house that had an underfloor heating system. Archaeologists have also found a fourth-century coin of the Roman emperor Constantine II, ceramic building tiles, stone work, and a spout from an imported pottery vessel. “Another extremely exciting discovery was the evidence of medieval settlement activity which suggests that the medieval village of Bottisham may have once expanded along Tunbridge Lane,” said Duncan Hawkins of CgMs Consulting.
