Chedworth Roman villa is a substantial Romano-British settlement located near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, dating to the second through fourth centuries AD. The villa comprises the remains of a large courtyard house with multiple ranges of rooms, including evidence of hypocausts (underfloor heating systems), which suggests occupation by a prosperous landowner. Substantial portions of the mosaic pavements and structural foundations survive, providing important archaeological evidence for Romano-British domestic life and agricultural production during the later Roman period. The site was discovered in the nineteenth century and has been subject to archaeological investigation and conservation, revealing the characteristic features of a high-status rural dwelling of the Romano-British elite.
