In April 2021, Historic England announced the discovery of an important Roman residential site during a survey for a new housing estate, suggesting it to be either a religious sanctuary, a luxury villa or combination of both. It is a type of building layout not known of elsewhere in Britain. [10] [11] Within hours of the announcement of the discovery, people trespassed onto the site and caused damage to the building. [12] The discovery of the site caused a reduction of planned homes, from approximately 150 to 94. [12]
