The Painted House is a Romano-British dwelling site located north of Market Street in Dover, Kent. Excavated in the early twentieth century, the structure dates from the first century AD and represents a substantial timber-built house of the Roman period. The site derives its name from the fragments of painted wall plaster discovered during excavation, which provide evidence of decorated interior finishes characteristic of Romano-British domestic architecture. The remains, now preserved in situ, offer significant archaeological insight into domestic life and building practices in Roman Britain during the early Imperial period.
