Sedgebrook Roman Villa at Plaxtol

Sedgebrook Roman Villa at Plaxtol

The 1989 excavation season began on Sunday 2nd April under the direction of Roger Cockett, assisted by Sarah Bishop. It was hoped that the digging would be completed by the end of June but work continued for several more weeks in order to answer some archaeological questions left unanswered from the previous year.

Investigations included ascertaining the extent of the roof-tile fall and emptying a short length of the perimeter ditch. Small finds included coins, a glass flagon handle and more fragments of a roof-ventilator or chimney pot.
