A
site of a Roman Villa
was discovered in the
grounds of Horkstow
Hall in 1797 when a
large mosaic pavement
was found. The Pavement
can now be seen at Hull’s
Archaeological Museum.
In
1796 fragments of the
tessellated pavement
of a long narrow room,
divided into three compartments,
were found in a field
near, one of these having
a most singular representation
of a Roman chariot race;
other portions contained
mutilated figures of
the "Fates",
attended by genii, Nerieids
and tritons; Roman coins
have also been found.
