Northchurch Roman villa

The excavations uncovered four building phases of a large Roman country estate.

No architectural remains were found, but pottery and other finds indicate that there was already a villa at this place.

In Phase 4 a bath was added on the south side of the complex.

The excavator found one plaster wall fragment with the letter A and was wondering whether these were Christian painting showing once a chi-rho.
