Title - Cholsey, Oxfordshire 2019
Additional information -The Lynch, Westfield Road, Cholsey, Oxfordshire—this picturesque location has recently unveiled archaeological treasures of remarkable significance. Among the standout discoveries are a series of corn dryers, widely regarded as the finest examples ever found. The level of precision evident in their construction suggests the involvement of a skilled engineer in their creation. Notably, a fragment of a Roman villa has also been unearthed in this excavation, revealing that a significant portion of the villa's structure extends beneath the current road and nearby houses. In an effort to preserve this historical gem, the section of the villa within the archaeologically excavated area has been carefully conserved in its original location. Moreover, the ancient thoroughfare known as the Icknield Way, which predates the Roman era, can be traced crossing the River Thames in Cholsey, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom—an intriguing testament to the area's rich history.
