Franks is a Romano-British villa and possible Iron Age farmstead located in Kent, England. The site demonstrates evidence of occupation spanning from the Iron Age through the Roman period, indicating continuity of settlement across these significant prehistoric and classical transitions. The villa itself represents the Romano-British agricultural and domestic architecture typical of rural Kent during the later Roman occupation of Britain. The presence of possible Iron Age features suggests earlier indigenous settlement and land use patterns that may have influenced the location and layout of the subsequent Roman-period villa complex.
