Taken from Eastfield Nature Reserve at High Ham. The church is Low Ham Church in the Field as shown in my 18th December photo http://365project.org/julienne1/365/2014-12-18. The Roman Villa was sited in the area to the left of the church and was discovered by a farmer in 1938 and excavated between 1946 -1955. They discovered a rather splendid mosaic floor depicting the story of Aeneas and Dido dating from the 4th century - it was lifted in 1953 and is now in a museum in Taunton.
@rupert Time team have visited High Ham but a little way off this site on top of the hill where there is another Roman villa site. The excavation of this one was long before Time Team came into being :)
