A major Roman villa, an Anglo-Saxon settlement and prehistoric remains 600m SSE of Darenth Court Farm is a multi-period archaeological site in Kent comprising deposits and structural evidence spanning from prehistoric times through the Anglo-Saxon period, with particular significance for its Roman phase. The site has yielded evidence of a substantial Roman villa complex, indicating high-status occupation and economic activity during the Romano-British period.
