Site of Roman villa is a scheduled ancient monument in Leicestershire representing the remains of a Roman villa of the imperial period. The site belongs to the broader category of Romano-British domestic architecture, which flourished throughout the provinces during the occupation. The villa's exact location and surviving structural remains are documented within the heritage record, though like many such sites it exists primarily as archaeological evidence rather than visible standing architecture. The designation reflects its importance to understanding rural settlement patterns and the adoption of Roman building practices among the Romano-British population during the first to fourth centuries AD.
