Whatley Combe Roman villa is a Romano-British settlement located in Somerset, dating to the Roman period of occupation in Britain. The villa represents a substantial residential and agricultural establishment typical of the prosperous villas constructed during the later Roman period in the south-west of England. Archaeological evidence from the site indicates it served as both a domestic residence and an economic centre for the surrounding agricultural lands. The villa's remains demonstrate the pattern of Roman rural settlement in the region and contribute to understanding the distribution and character of Romano-British elite properties in Somerset.
