(TR02226172) Building foundation visible as a cropmark 120m east of Roman villa and St Savour's Abbey (TR 06 SW 9 & 41) (1) and site photographs (2-6).
In 1997 the Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit apparently excavated 12 test pits somewhere in 'Square Field', c.200m east of the Roman villa and east of the stream. Some 15m of flint walling was found, one side of a large Roman building. (7)
