Along the route of the high speed railway, in the territory of Afragola, several structures were identified which seem to belong to a villa rustica of late Republican date. A floor was uncovered made up of irregular fragments of tufa and brick placed side by side. It presented patches of mending and incorporated medium sized tufa blocks. This probably related to a light structure, isolated from the residential part of the villa, reserved for agricultural activities. Three wells were then made in this structure, one of which was partially built, served by a small channel. Excavation is still underway on the structures relating to the pars dominica identified further to the south.

Two beaten earth tracks, one on a north-west/south-east, the other on an east-west alignment were uncovered that probably related to the centuriation in the _ager Campanus_. The channels running parallel to the roads produced black glaze ware of local production datable to between the 3rd century B.C. and the beginning of the 1st century B.C. and votive materials including a terracotta female head.

Five impasto jars were found in this area, in phase with the well, and in most cases below the beaten surfaces of Hellenistic date. These were placed in a vertical position inside cuts in the Bronze Age ground surface.
