The Roman villa at Lower Woods is a second-century Romano-British settlement located in Gloucestershire. Substantial remains of a bathhouse form part of the site, indicating the villa's role as a residence of considerable status during the Roman occupation of Britain. The structure demonstrates the domestic comfort and architectural sophistication characteristic of villas built during the height of Roman Britain's prosperity in the second century AD. The survival of bathhouse remains provides important evidence for the adoption of Roman bathing customs among the provincial elite in the Cotswold region.
