It reminds me of a Roma Villa site just half a mile up the road from where I live.
Bristol City council have it wire fenced off, but is is visible to view and there are open days.
They could have chosen to build on the site, but had the common sense to save a piece our city history for future generations to see and enjoy.
Others would be well advise to take note, as we are all just passing through and are only custodians for a short period of time.
Happy Hunting,
