Ucetia was previously known only by name for thousands of years, with many questioning its existence entirely.

The city was believed to have existed since before the Roman conquest of Great Britain in 43 AD.

Led by Philippe Cayn from the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP), the team uncovered a 4,000sqm city decorated with elaborate mosaics.
