MONSÉGUR
Dept. Gironde, France.
A
Gallo-Roman villa of the early Empire, its presence
indicated by mosaics found in the 19th c., has been
excavated here since 1966. Construction dates from the
end of the 1st c. A.D., with some buildings reconstructed
in the 4th c., but conserving recognizably the original
basilican plan of the villa. Holes had been made in its
floor to accommodate a series of burials. Around this
building and among its ruins a Merovingian necropolis
was later installed.
