Compton Farm is a Romano-British and Early Medieval occupation site located in Wiltshire, England, with associated cultivation earthworks that reflect sustained human settlement across two distinct historical periods. The site contains archaeological evidence of Romano-British habitation, indicating agricultural and domestic activity during the Roman occupation of Britain, followed by continued occupation during the Early Medieval period. The surviving earthworks include field systems and settlement features that demonstrate the long-term patterns of land use and cultivation practised across the transition from Romano-British to Early Medieval times. The monument's survival as visible earthworks provides valuable evidence of continuity and change in rural settlement and agricultural organisation in the Romano-British and post-Roman landscape of Wiltshire.
