1. Cropmark villa first discovered during RCAHMW aerial reconaissance on 24th July 1996. Negative cropmarks of buried walls forming two distinct buildings. To the SE of the buildings are possibly associated linear features.

2. Cropmark villa first discovered during RCAHMW aerial reconaissance on 24th July 1996. Negative cropmarks of buried walls forming two distinct buildings. To the west a ranged building with interior divisions aligned SW-NE with a wing on the southwesten end. Possibly a corresponding wing on the NE side. Maximum length of 34m SW-NE. To the east a rectangular building aligned SSW-NNE with partition at NNE end divided into three sections. To the SSW is a larger room with possible column bases. To the SE of the buildings are possibly associated linear features. Watching brief in 1979 (Lambert 1979) noted masonry in the edge of a pipe trench which passes to the SW of the site.

3. Original correspondance with Dr Edith Evans, GGAT, with T Driver, RCAHMW, in 1999, revealed further facts about the site in the field. It appears that none of the building material observed in the original 1979 pipe trench was ever recovered or saved. The site was then re-visited by Dr Evans on 1st February 1999, when the field was under plough soil. The following is paraphrased from her letter:

'I picked up one piece of roller-patterned flue tile from the same side of the track as the buildings, and several pieces of imbrex from the other side, all abraded. Judging from where I found them, it is possible that they were disturbed by the cutting of the gas pipe trench in 1979, and that normal cultivation may therefore not go deep enough to disturb the remains. The gas pipe is marked as it crosses the road, and I paced it out as about 50 paces to the east of where the track joins the road: my paces are short of 1m, so the distance is probably more like 40m. Neither the 'Arch in Wales' entry, nor the slightly longer version in our 1978-9 annual report (p103), note the exacat position of the wall the pipeline cut, but it is probably part of a third block which does not show on the photo. The earthwork to the south of the buildings is very amorphous, but still shown on OS maps. '

Approx. 0.5km south-west of Croes Carn Einion Roman Villa (NPRN: 90528), the cropmarks of a rectangular enclosure were discovered during aerial reconnaissance by RCAHMW on 21st June 2010. The enclosure measures approx. 100m x 80m, orientated south-east to north-west.
