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.

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.....

Just learning about lichens, however, I think this is Caloplaca flavescens on a grave stone at Rockbourne, Hants. Like little wonky golden bullseyes.
