Roman villa
Associated features

The hoard comes from the south wing of the villa developed during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. From the third century, this villa undergoes major restructuring. The buildings were abandoned and partially destroyed as part of the building materials seals most of the previous remains (US 6145). The hoard was deposited in a thick layer of a filling made of destroyed materials, and especially in the extension of a structure in light materials on flashings (F604-605-606- palisade? part of building?). The hoard was found 13 m north-west from the hoard MAGNY-COURS 2008 and 8 m south of the edifice 60. It was placed between blocks.
