Excavations at Chester. Roman land division and a probable villa in
the hinterland of Deva reports on excavations carried out by
Northern Archaeological Associates (NAA) at Saighton Camp - a
former British Army training camp - located to the south of the
Roman legionary fortress of Chester (Deva Victrix) which revealed
important and extensive Roman period remains. Part of a high-status
settlement of second- to fourth-century date, together with a
regular field system laid out over more than 20 hectares, were
encountered. The excavated settlement appears to be an ancillary
area to a much larger site, the centre of which lies to the south
and is believed to be a villa. This is the closest such site to
Chester, and villas are notably rare in the region. The field
system was probably laid out by the legion at Deva as part of the
prata legionis, agricultural lands they controlled around the
fortress.
