"Unearthing a Remarkable Roman Villa: Treasures and Curse Tablets Found in Southeastern England"

Archaeologists have discovered a "remarkable" Roman villa complex in a small English village, complete with painted plaster, mosaics, and a collection of lead scrolls suggesting a possible ritual or pilgrimage site. The villa, which likely served as a small administrative center, showed signs of human activity from the 1st or 2nd century into the late 4th or early 5th century, with later additions indicating increased wealth. Excavations are ongoing, with the discovery of a horse-headed buckle from 350-450 AD suggesting the presence of late Roman elites or early Anglo-Saxon burials. Mysteries still remain, including the location of human remains and a potential sanctuary on the site.
