Aiskew Roman Villa

Aiskew Roman villa is a Roman villa in Aiskew, North Yorkshire [1]. It was identified by geophysical survey in July 2013 and partly excavated between November 2014 and February 2015 [1]. The site is close to the Roman road of Dere Street and is less than 10 kilometres from Cataractonium [1]. The villa is of the 'winged -corridor' type and has a long central range with a 'wing' at each end [1]. It dates to the 3rd and 4th centuries AD [1]. One of the rooms at the north-east end included an opus signinum floor [1]. A room with a hypocaust was also included at the north wing [1]. Finds from the site include a silver stylus, a stamped amphora rim from north Africa, Nene Valley Colour Coated Ware, and samian ware [1].
