Roman mosaic and villa complex found in Rutland
farmer's field
(1º§) The mosaic, found in Rutland, has been described
as the first example of its kind in the UK. It was
discovered by the landowner's son and investigated by
archaeologists from the University of Leicester. Historic
England described the mosaic as "one of the most
remarkable and significant... ever found in Britain".
(2º§) The mosaic and surrounding villa complex have
now been protected as a Scheduled Monument by the
Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS)
on the advice of Historic England. The complex is
thought to have been occupied by a wealthy individual
from the late Roman period.
(3º§) Jim Irvine, son of landowner Brian Naylor, made the
initial discovery after spotting "unusual pottery" on a walk
during the 2020 lockdown, and contacted the
archaeological team at Leicestershire County Council. He
said: "My family have been farming this land for 50 or 60
years. "During lockdown last year, I noticed some pottery
on the ground which didn't look like any pottery I'd seen
before. "We came down here with a spade and I dug a
shallow trench and I was in exactly the right place. "To
see something that has been undisturbed for 1700 years
or so has been amazing. "The thing that has been
keeping me interested is what's the state of the next thing
to come out of the site because it's all been amazing so
far." Historic England funded urgent excavation work at
the site by the University of Leicester.
(4º§) The mosaic, which forms the floor of what was
thought to be a dining or entertaining area of the villa,
measures 11m x 7m (36ft x 23ft). Mosaics were regularly
used in private and public buildings across the Roman
Empire, and often featured famous figures from
mythology. However, the Rutland mosaic is thought to be
unique in the UK as it features Achilles and his battle with
Hector at the conclusion of the Trojan War.
Analysis - By Phil Mackie, BBC Midlands correspondent
at the scene
(5º§) I know where the villa was found but I'm not allowed
to give away too many details. It's because they don't
want anyone coming along and trying to carry out their
own investigations and disturbing the site.
(6º§) For now, the mosaic has been covered back up. It's
been well protected for more than a millennium and a half
beneath a 2ft (0.6m) layer of soil, and it won't come to
any further harm now it's back underground. Jim Irvine
really hopes that people will be able to come to visit in
situ one day but decisions about its long-term future
haven't been made yet. The site is so big that only a tiny
part of the complex has been excavated. There are likely
to be more discoveries in the digging seasons to come.
(7º§) Investigations have revealed the large villa is
surrounded by barns, circular structures and possibly a
bath house. The complex is likely to have been occupied
by someone with a knowledge of classical literature,
between the 3rd and 4th Century AD. John Thomas,
deputy director of the University of Leicester
Archaeological Services and project manager on the excavations, said: "This is certainly the most exciting
Roman mosaic discovery in the UK in the last century. "It
gives us fresh perspectives on the attitudes of people at
the time, their links to classical literature, and it also tells
us an enormous amount about the individual who
commissioned this piece. "This is someone with a
knowledge of the classics, who had the money to
commission a piece of such detail, and it's the very first
depiction of these stories that we've ever found in
Britain."
(8º§) Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England,
added: "To have uncovered such a rare mosaic of this
size, as well as a surrounding villa, is remarkable.
"Discoveries like this are so important in helping us piece
together our shared history. By protecting this site we are
able to continue learning from it, and look forward to what
future excavations may teach us about the people who
lived there over 1,500 years ago." The site is on private
land and not accessible to the public but discussions are
ongoing with Rutland County Council to set up an off-site
display of the villa complex and its finds, Historic England
said. Further excavations are planned on the site in 2022.
Mr Irvine said the field will no longer be used for farming
so the area can be protected.

(7º§) Investigations have revealed the large villa is
surrounded by barns, circular structures and possibly a
bath house. The complex is likely to have been occupied
by someone with a knowledge of classical literature,
between the 3rd and 4th Century AD. John Thomas,
deputy director of the University of Leicester
Archaeological Services and project manager on the excavations, said: "This is certainly the most exciting
Roman mosaic discovery in the UK in the last century. "It
gives us fresh perspectives on the attitudes of people at
the time, their links to classical literature, and it also tells
us an enormous amount about the individual who
commissioned this piece. "This is someone with a
knowledge of the classics, who had the money to
commission a piece of such detail, and it's the very first
depiction of these stories that we've ever found in
Britain."
(8º§) Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England,
added: "To have uncovered such a rare mosaic of this
size, as well as a surrounding villa, is remarkable.
"Discoveries like this are so important in helping us piece
together our shared history. By protecting this site we are
able to continue learning from it, and look forward to what
future excavations may teach us about the people who
lived there over 1,500 years ago." The site is on private
land and not accessible to the public but discussions are
ongoing with Rutland County Council to set up an off-site
display of the villa complex and its finds, Historic England
said. Further excavations are planned on the site in 2022.
Mr Irvine said the field will no longer be used for farming
so the area can be protected.
