Lullingstone Roman villa is a substantial Romano-British settlement located near Eynsford in Kent, dating from the first to fourth centuries AD. The villa comprises a series of stone-built structures arranged around a courtyard, with evidence of multiple phases of occupation and renovation across three centuries. Significant finds from the site include mosaics, painted wall plaster, and artefacts indicating the wealth and status of its inhabitants, alongside religious material including Christian symbols from the later fourth century. A Saxon church was subsequently constructed within or near the villa complex, demonstrating the continuity of settlement at this location into the early medieval period and the adaptive reuse of Roman structures by Anglo-Saxon communities.
