Tucked away in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside, this location marks the fascinating site of a significant Roman villa.
Discovered and excavated over a century ago, it revealed evidence of a substantial and prosperous dwelling, indicating a wealthy landowner lived here during the Roman occupation of Britain. Archaeological finds at the time pointed to a complex with well-appointed rooms, possibly including bathhouses and decorative flooring, giving us a glimpse into the sophisticated domestic life of the era.
While the original structures are no longer visible above ground, this spot offers a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the deep history beneath your feet and imagine the bustling estate that once stood here. The surrounding landscape, rich in heritage, encourages exploration and a sense of connection to Roman Britain.
You'll find this important archaeological area near Glympton, with the charming settlements of Over Kiddington, Stonesfield, Kiddington, Combe, Radford, and the historic town of Woodstock all close by. It’s a rewarding stop for anyone interested in the Roman past and the layers of history woven into the fabric of the Cotswolds.
