Romano British Villa - Oxfordshire

Time Team returned in 2021 to dig a huge Roman villa in Oxfordshire. The site was recently discovered by metal detectorist and amateur archaeologist Keith Westcott.

Various finds from mosaic tesserae and hypocaust flue tiles to a sarcophagus suggest a large villa of high status on this site. Broughton has presented the extremely rare opportunity to investigate what appears to be an untouched and well-preserved Roman villa with the latest technology, techniques and approaches. As well as investigating the villa, we seek to place it within its wider context in the landscape.

New presenters Dr Gus Casely-Hayford and Natalie Haynes join team members old and new to investigate a huge Roman villa on the estate of Broughton Castle in Oxfordshire. Armed with new technology, and with seasoned Site Director Neil Holbrook back at the helm, Time Team have just three days to shed light on this complex site.
