Newport Roman Villa, Roman farmhouse ruins in Newport, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom.
The villa contains remains of Roman baths, living quarters, and a hypocaust heating system dating from the third century AD.
Construction workers discovered the villa in 1926 while digging foundations for a garage, leading to extensive archaeological investigations of the site.
The reconstructed kitchen, herb garden, and display of local Roman artifacts demonstrate the daily activities of Romano-British inhabitants.
The archaeological site opens from April through September, with admission prices of £4.50 for adults and £3.00 for children under supervision.
A female skull found in one of the rooms suggests the villa might have been abandoned following a violent raid or economic difficulties.
