Horestone Mosaic

DescriptionNorthamptonshire 024.png	English: Fig 24. Mosaic Found at Nether Heyford in 1699 (Morton, p. xiv) (17) Nether Heyford. Here a villa was found in 1699 in the Horestone or Horsestone meadow. The principal discovery was part of a mosaic showing an elaborate geometrical design in red, white, blue and yellow, in pattern not unlike the southernmost mosaic at Weldon, but fringed in addition with a guilloche border (fig. 24). Some other rooms were observed to have white plaster floors coloured along the sides with straight stripes of red, yellow and green; and, as usual, roofing slates and tiles, painted wall plaster and Samian and other potsherds abounded. In 1780 the mosaic was taken up and used to mend the roads. In 1821 the site was re-examined with no important results. Baker estimated the whole area of the building 'as marked by the disturbed surface and discoloured vegetation' as no more than 100 feet.
