Archaeologists uncovered a section of collapsed roof along the corridor, close to the dining room mosaic outside on display. This is now reburied to protect them from further damage by the weather.

Stephen R. Cosh is the co-author and illustrator of the four-volume corpus of Romano-British mosaics. This mosaic at #Rockbourne , now underground, was the worst #mosaic he painted!

Mosaic floors wear down over time as countless feet detach the tesserae, creating holes in the floor. Rockbourne's owner decided to reuse old limestone roofing slabs instead of new tesserae to fix it. Perhaps to save money.....
