MARGNY Ardennes, France.

Gallo-Roman villa on the Franco-Belgian frontier SE of Sedan. Rectangular in plan, it has a N gallery running the length of a complex of rooms lying on either side of a large central hall with a hearth. One of the doors of this hall opens onto a balneum with a hypocaust. Many metal objects have been found (bronze doorknobs with a lion design), as well as pottery, particularly amphorae and dolia. The villa had a slate roof. There were several levels of occupation, dating apparently from the 2d and 3d c. A.D.
