Rockbourne Roman Villa
  Description
Originally discovered in 1942 by a farmer digging out a ferret and found oyster shells and tiles. The site was taken over by Hampshire County Council Museums Service in 1979 and now a small museum displays a collection of artefacts found during the excavations and outside the villa's best preserved foundations have been left visible, together with two mosaic floors and a hypocaust.
