After rare Roman remains were found at a housing development in Eastfield last week there are calls for the council to explore ways of keeping the site open to the public.
After the discovery of the remains at the Middle Deepdale housing development a number of leading Roman archaeology experts concluded that the remains had never been seen before in Roman Britain and that they are likely to represent a high-status Roman villa or religious sanctuary, or even something that was a combination of both.
Developer Keepmoat has already adjusted it's plans for the development so that the remains will be under an open space rather than under housing.
Eastfield Councillor Tony Randerson says it has the potential to be a great attraction for visitors and tourists.
Tony admits it wouldn't be easy, given that the site is in the middle of a new housing development, but says he has had lots of local feedback on the issue.
Historic England is expected to recommend the designation the remains as a nationally important Scheduled Monument.
