Southwell Roman villa complex and Anglo-Saxon cemetery is a multi-period heritage site in Nottinghamshire combining evidence of Roman occupation and subsequent Anglo-Saxon burial activity. The Roman villa, dating to the later Roman period, represents significant settlement and agricultural exploitation in the region during the imperial occupation of Britain. The Anglo-Saxon cemetery demonstrates continued use of the locality in the post-Roman period, indicating settlement continuity or reoccupation at this location. The site has yielded archaeological evidence of both periods, though much of the surviving material evidence exists as subsurface deposits and scattered finds rather than prominent visible structures.
