In 1870 Anton Pletscher excavated part of a villa near Schleitheim at the locality Lendenberg. The building measured 21.15 x 17.20 m. More investigations took place in 1943, 1978, and 2004. Rooms 3 and 4 were cellars, the western one accessible from the north via a ramp. Room 2 had a hypocaust. The ceramics were mostly from the second and early third century.
