During building works for the extension to Kettle’s Yard, excavation in the courtyard in front of the house and gallery has revealed two deep Roman wells and a wall. Findings include decorative plasterwork, tiles and two fragmented pots. These fascinating discoveries are significant for the historic picture of the area but shall not effect the progress of the building work. Andrew Nairne, Director, says: “We’ve always known that this area was historically significant and we’re very excited to discover the Roman origins of the site.”
