Woodchester Roman Villa was a luxurious Roman countryside residence in Woodchester, Gloucestershire, occupied from the early 2nd to late 4th century AD [1]. The villa's most celebrated feature is the Orpheus mosaic, the second largest of its kind in Europe and one of the most intricate Roman mosaics, dating to approximately 325 AD [2]. The site now lies beneath a churchyard, with no visible remains above ground [3].
