Archeologists have discovered what they believe to be an ancient Roman villa and bath house under an Aldi construction site.

The team from Oxford Archeology (OA) uncovered the mosaic brickwork in Warrington Road, Buckinghamshire.

The site is close to an existing Roman site in Olney, raising the town’s profile as a mecca for archeology.
