Summary (English)
The 2007 excavation involved sites A and M, two of the nine Roman rural settlements identified during the 2006 survey.
Site A, characterised by a spread of tile covering circa 5000 m2, was surveyed with a magnetometer as a guide for the excavation. A large trench was opened in correspondence with the clearest anomalies: that to the south resulted as belonging to the western sector of a rustic villa (a large aula with two naves and two smaller adjacent rooms, one of which originally paved with a white mosaic), and to the north there was a large room divided into two sectors by a wall, probably an outbuilding or stall. Whilst the villa dated to the 1st century A.D., the room to the north was built towards the middle of the 4th century A.D.
On site M, where investigations undertaken in 2004 and 2006 had revealed a large stall/sheepfold (330 m2) and a small dwelling of two rooms with adjacent well, the excavation was extended to the east. This sector was occupied by a vast courtyard with a system of small channels (heavily robbed), numerous midden pits and the foundation of an isolated production structure (mill, oven?).
