Vandals sack Roman-era estate and bathhouse just discovered in UK

April 20, 2021

Shortly after archaeologists unearthed a large Roman-era estate in the community of Eastfield, in the United Kingdom, vandals trespassed and damaged the ancient site, news sources report.

According to archaeologists at Historic England, the finding is “easily the most important Roman discovery of the last decade,” The Guardian reported. News of its stateliness likely attracted the vandals, who brought metal detectors and trespassed on the site on the night of April 14. It’s unclear if anything was taken, but parts of the fencing and land were damaged, local police said, as reported by the BBC.
