Roman settlement discovered at Peterborough warehouse site

Dalton Seeds, which is funding the excavation, received planning permission, external for the warehouse development in February.

The “exciting” findings at the site will now be sent off to a specialist for further analysis.

Mr Lodoen said that uncovered tiles – tegula, imbrex and box flue – indicated that a significant building was standing nearby.

“These tiles are not cheap, so it would have been used for a high-status villa perhaps.”

He added: “Things like this are always exciting. Because this is part of a planning matter, we also have to file a report on the findings and send it to the authorities. It will then be available to the public.”

The team are expecting to wrap up their excavation project on the site next week.
