Newport Roman Villa
Welcome to Newport Roman Villa a 1,700 year old country pile! Discovered in 1926 when the
owner of a nearby house sank foundations for a garage, subsequent excavations revealed
extensive remains of a late Romano-British farmhouse built around 280 AD.
Newport Roman Villa is a Scheduled Ancient Monument in the care of the Isle of Wight Council
Museums Service.
The Villa is now closed and will re-open from Monday 2 April – Saturday 3 November 2012 and
is open by prior arrangement to groups and school parties in the winter period.
