Show Notes

Beloved by generations of visitors and steeped in history, Margam Park was already known to have an Iron Age hill fort, the remains of a Norman abbey and a Victorian castle, which looks out today over Port Talbot steelworks. Now, though, it can add a Roman villa to that list. 马格姆公园深受几代访客喜爱,且历史底蕴深厚。这里原本就因拥有一座铁器时代的山丘堡垒、一处诺曼时期修道院遗址,以及一座俯瞰塔尔博特港钢铁厂的维多利亚时期的城堡而闻名。而现在,公园的古迹名单上又多了一座罗马别墅遗址。

Sophisticated scanning devices were used to look for archaeological features hidden underground, and the Swansea University-led team struck gold. 由斯旺西大学领衔的团队利用先进的扫描设备寻找埋藏在地下的考古遗迹,并取得了这一重大发现。

The villa itself has multiple rooms, a substantial side building, and it sits within a defensive enclosure. The experts hope to findmosaicfloors and other precious artefacts, and say their discovery is of a scale and level of preservation unmatched in Wales so far. 这座别墅拥有多个房间、一座规模颇大的附属建筑,并坐落于一处设有防御设施的围合区域内。专家希望在此发现马赛克地面和其它珍贵文物,并表示,无论是遗址规模还是保存状况,此次发现在威尔士都堪称首屈一指。
