Discovery and excavation
The site was discovered in 1854 on land owned by the Lady Elizabeth Hastings Charities and excavated by F Carroll in 1855.[2] These initial excavations located two buildings with hypocausts and the Medusa mosaic.[3] A rescue excavation in 1977 excavated Шаблон:Convert of the site. The modern excavations discovered an Iron Age site beneath the Roman villa. The villa was constructed in the 3rd-century AD, though some evidence suggests 2nd-century activity at the site as well. Coins on the site date from AD 270–355. In the post-Roman period, several Anglo-Saxon buildings were built on the site (re-using the Roman building materials). A grave dating to the 7th-century AD was also found.[3]
The villa
There were several villa buildings built in a sequence at the site. The main site measures 30 m x 16 m and was aligned east to west. It comprised three rooms joined by a corridor. The eastern rooms had a hypocaust and the western room contained the Medusa mosaic. There was a separate bath-house located to the south of the main building. Several other buildings were present on the site.[1]
Mosaic
The large mosaic depicting the Medusa was transferred to the Yorkshire Museum, where it was on display by 1881 in the Hospitium.[2] The mosaic is currently on display in the museum, where it is affixed to a wall next to a staircase.[4]
