Bantham Ham is a Roman settlement site located in the parish of Thurlestone in south Devon, England. The site occupies a defensible position on the eastern bank of the River Avon and has yielded archaeological evidence of Roman occupation during the early Imperial period. Artefactual material recovered from the site includes pottery and other domestic refuse indicative of trading activity and settlement rather than military installation. The precise chronology and extent of occupation remain subjects of ongoing archaeological investigation, though the site represents an important example of Roman presence in the south-west peninsula beyond the principal military and administrative centres.
