The Hunt For The Lost Roman Mansion | Time Team (1x50)

:

The team travel to Alfoldean in Sussex to uncover a mansion, an official Roman coaching inn. Located on Stane Street - now the A29 - the mansio was at the heart of a much larger community. The team ambitiously set out to uncover the story of the whole settlement, and as trenches are opened over a 600-metre expanse of land, the archaeologists uncover structures and finds that suggest Alfoldean was once a thriving village.
