In 2011 and 2015 remains were found of a second villa in Grenchen, at the intersection of the Jurastrasse and the Maria Schürerstrasse. Only secondary buildings were found. One building, measuring 13.30 x at least 19.50 m., consisted of a large hall with three smaller rooms on a short side. About 30 meters away a wooden water basin was found, measuring 4.20 x at least 5.00 m. Water from a nearby spring was collected here.
