The Parish of Bix & Assendon places of interest |
Roman Remains
There are buried ruins of a Roman building located near Bix Common Field. The site was excavated in 1955 and found to have been a small Roman farmhouse with signs of later Saxon occupation.
This evidence, together with the Saxon development at Bix Brand, appears to confirm that the parish has been inhabited continuously for at least one thousand six hundred years.
The finds from the excavation were, however, not considered to be worth retaining in an exposed condition and so the area was re-covered and nothing can be seen of it today.
