The site of a Roman villa north-north-east of Fifehead Mill is a Romano-British agricultural settlement located in Dorset. The villa represents the typical pattern of rural elite habitation during the Roman occupation of Britain, likely dating to the later Roman period. The site is identified primarily through archaeological survey and artefactual evidence rather than substantial structural remains visible above ground. Such villas typically comprised a main residential building with associated agricultural and domestic structures, reflecting the integration of Romano-British landowners into the provincial economy and society of Roman Britain.
