Surveys reveal large Roman villa complex at site
The scale of a sprawling villa that housed one of the most important mosaics found in Britain in decades has been revealed.

The Rutland mosaic was made public in November - but the size of the complex around it was only hinted at.
Now ground-penetrating surveys have shown an area as large as five football pitches, boasting possible formal gardens, a bath house and mausoleum.
Survey lead Dr John Gater said it was the largest site his team had covered.
The mosaic was described by Historic England as "one of the most remarkable and significant... ever found in Britain" and by TV presenter and academic Professor Alice Roberts as "important and exceptional".
Rather than standard scenes of hunting or mythology, its panels illustrated an unusual version of a scene from the Trojan war, where the warrior Achilles ransoms the body of fallen enemy Hector.
Dated to the 3rd and 4th Century AD, the 11m x 7m (36ft x 23ft) floor, while impressive, was only one time period in, and one part of, the villa.
But for security reasons, its full size and complexity was kept under wraps, except for an admission less than 3% of the site had been excavated.
