Comments
The main building of this Roman farm is exceptionally clearly recognizable. Apart from an elongated collapse area in the west and east, exclusively well-preserved foundation structures and floors are visible. Obviously the foundations lie deep and therefore well protected below the plow horizon. The rectangular structure in front of the portico front might be a pedestal for a statue.

The unusual shape of the horizontal walls, similar to a zipper, results from the measuring procedure and usually occurs when measurements are taken on a slope:
On his way uphill and downhill along the measuring-tracks the prospecter's perspective of the tape measure-position changes, due to the slope on which he is moving. This leads to a measuring point offset in both directions and results in "zipper-walls".
