Surprise fences, HFF All

Huish Episcopi is close to Ilchester and the Roman Fosse Way. The building of a housing estate here was very recently put on hold when it was discovered that there was a large Roman Villa right where the new homes are to go. It's thought by the site size that it might have been the luxury home of some big wig.

Keep Huish Roman ;-))))))
