SE 60315108 Part of a large Roman town-house was excavated before development. It was situated outside the colonia at Clementhorpe on a natural terrace overlooking the river. A large room with polygonal apse, once floored with mosaic, was flanked by two smaller rooms, one of which
contained a mosaic previously recorded in 1851; it had been badly disturbed by Medieval graves. Fourth century pottery was recovered from the construction levels of the building. (1)

Further excavation revealed traces of an earlier building, suggesting occupation from at least the second century. (2)
