Pillae covers at Chedworth sponsored by the RRT grant

The Roman Research Trust supported a programme of mosaic excavation and conservation at Chedworth Roman Villa during the summer of 2010. National Trust Archaeologists Martin Papworth, Nancy Grace and Guy Salkeld worked with students and volunteers to uncover largely unseen mosaics along the west range. Conservation was undertaken by consultant Chris Cleere, also with students and volunteers. The programme is part of a larger project to build a new environmental cover across the whole range. This will improve interpretation, conservation, and access to the historic fabric. The mosaics have now been protected while the construction work takes place throughout 2011. A second phase of mosaic excavation will be undertaken in the summer of 2012 to complete the continuous 30m run of exposed corridor mosaic.
