Site of Roman Villa 300m NE of Brookhampton, Kineton.

1 Scatter of Roman pot and tile located during field survey.
2 Field survey in 1984 revealed a dense scatter of worked and unworked stone, tile (flue and roof), pottery, glass etc on the crest of a hill. The dense area of the building scatter is about 20m in length and orientated SW-NE across the hill slope. Two additional stone/tile scatters could indicate additional buildings. The main scatter includes a lot of tile (twelve pieces of flue tile noted), oyster shell, iron and lead objects, a quern and pottery. Pottery included Samian, colour-coated, mortaria, grey, orange and black burnished ware. The site is on a very exposed part of the hill and large chunks of unabraded pot and tile may indicate severe plough damage.
