Evolution of a Romano-British Courtyard Villa : Excavations at the former Dings Crusaders Rugby Ground, Stoke Gifford 2016–2018 Hardback
by Tom Brindle, Mark Brett, Jonathan Hart
Part of the Cotswold Archaeology Monograph series
Hardback
Description
Excavations between 2016–2018 revealed a series of structures that were re-organised and rebuilt over time, which culminated in a stone-built winged corridor villa in the mid to late 4th century AD.
Wings were added to the buildings and a portico at the front opened out onto a courtyard.
The outer courtyard was flanked by ancillary buildings, one of which contained a hypocaust and another a small bath suite.
Finds included a rare copper alloy figurative lamp with probable foreign origins, a lion mask and a range of pottery, glass worked stone and bone.
Environmental remains indicate a mixed arable and pastoral agricultural economy that supported its inhabitants and may have produced a surplus.
Wood for fuel and other purposes was obtained from surrounding hedges and copses.
