The mosaic was found at the southern end of this building.[1] Only one half of the mosaic was uncovered.[1] It was subsequently reburied, to ensure its preservation.[1] It is planned to excavate it further at a future date.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web|title=Stunning mosaic found in Roman Villa near Boxford – Cotswold Archaeology|url=http://cotswoldarchaeology.co.uk/stunning-mosaic-found-in-roman-villa-near-boxford/|publisher=Cotswold Archaeology|accessdate=8 September 2017}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite news|last1=Kennedy|first1=Maev|title=Rare Roman mosaic found during Berkshire community project|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/sep/02/rare-roman-mosaic-found-berkshire-archaeology-project-boxford|accessdate=8 September 2017|work=The Guardian|date=2 September 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Keating|first1=Fiona|title=Archaeologists unearth rare Roman mosaic hailed as 'best seen in decades' in Berkshire|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/berkshire-find-archaeology-roman-pegasus-hercules-st-george-a7925381.html|accessdate=8 September 2017|work=The Independent|date=2 September 2017}} 4 : Roman mosaics|West Berkshire District|Archaeology of England|Roman villas in England |
