At the locality Niderfeld in Wiedlisbach, to the north-east of Solothurn and a bit to the north of the river Aare, remains of a villa were investigated in 1913-1914, 1982, and 1988-1989. The rooms of the main house (B; 32.50 x 28 m.) were grouped around a courtyard in which seven postholes were found, suggesting a partial roof. To the west were small baths (A; 12 x 9 m.). The finds were dated to the second and third century.
