Originally a winged-corridor house, the villa eventually became a grand building with mosaics and a formal garden.

Around 170 AD the farmstead was destroyed by fire,[1] but by the late 3rd century it had been replaced by a larger house.

[5] The villa has since been reburied to ensure its preservation, but the principal rooms have been marked out on the ground with modern stonework and the fish-pond has been reconstructed.

[5] The mosaics were removed from the site and one was prominently displayed in Queen's Court, CMK Shopping Centre.

[6] Due to 'redevelopment' of Queen's Court, the mosaic was remounted subsequently in the "guest services lounge" of the centre.
