History & significance

The villa 170 metres south west of Winchcombe School, Greet Road, is a Romano-British settlement site located in Gloucestershire. The site dates to the Roman period and represents the archaeological remains of a substantial residential and agricultural complex typical of the villas that proliferated across the Cotswold region during the Roman occupation of Britain. Like many Romano-British villas, it would have functioned as both a domestic residence and an economic centre for the surrounding agricultural estate, serving as evidence of the integration of Romano-British elite into the landscape and economy of the province. The site remains largely unexcavated and is now recognised and protected as a scheduled ancient monument reflecting its archaeological significance to the understanding of Roman settlement patterns in Gloucestershire.
