Rockbourne Roman Villa, Roman villa and museum in Rockbourne, England
The extensive archaeological complex spans over 70 rooms, with visible foundations, preserved mosaics, and bath houses across the ancient farming estate site.
A local farmer discovered the villa in 1942 while digging for a ferret, leading to extensive excavations that revealed structures dating from the Iron Age to 5th century AD.
The museum displays artifacts including decorative plaster, jewelry, and two adult male skeletons, illustrating daily life during Roman occupation in Britain.
The site offers year-round access with information panels guiding visitors through the ruins and a museum containing archaeological finds from excavations.
A pottery jar containing 7,717 Roman coins from around 295 AD was unearthed in 1967, remaining undiscovered during the villa's continuous occupation.
