A year after the discovery of an interesting Roman villa in Scarborough (North East England), a decision was made to undertake archaeological excavations and the restoration of the remains. According to the researchers, the house had several rooms, and its central part was an unusually round room. There was also a bathhouse in the villa, which had the size of two tennis courts.

The interesting plan on which the villa was built suggests that the house was inhabited either by the local elite or had religious significance and was associated with a cult.
