"We're hoping to learn what function that had. It's a very large building and they're quite rare. We want to work out how it fit in with the wider site. "It'll be the next step for a site that's not been inhabited for 2,000 years, re-occupying a site that the Romans abandoned."The archaeology team say there are quite a lot of Roman sites across Oxfordshire, as it was well populated and there was a lot of colonisation.
"The finds were getting richer and more abundant the closer we got to the main villa, so we knew that something was going on.Credit: ITV Meridian
