This excavation revealed the extensive remains of a large rural Roman villa, along with associated buildings, spanning a total of 5 hectares.

At the heart of the discovery was an impressive Roman mosaic, illustrating a scene from the Trojan Wars. The final excavations at the site were completed in 2022.

The project takes a pragmatic approach by creating a design for a traditional visitors’ centre in its most essential form, incorporating all the necessary services one would expect from a visitor’s centre. The site is located in a highly rural area, presenting challenging constraints and unique opportunities for the project.
