The villa situated 560 metres north east of East Creech Farm is a Romano-British country house of probable second to fourth century date. The site represents a substantial agricultural settlement typical of the Roman occupation period in Dorset, when such villas functioned as centres of rural land management and production. The monument survives as buried archaeological deposits and structural remains which retain the potential to yield further information about Romano-British domestic life and farming practices in this region. The villa's location within the wider landscape of Roman Dorset reflects the pattern of civilian settlement and economic activity that characterised the later Roman provinces of Britain.
