Beadlam Roman Villa

Beadlam Roman villa is a Roman villa on the east bank of the River Riccal in North Yorkshire, England [1]. It is in the district of Ryedale between Helmsley and the village of Beadlam [1]. This Scheduled Ancient Monument is the remains of a large Romano-British farm built in the third and fourth centuries AD [1]. The site was first explored in 1928 when Romano-British tile and pot and tesserae were found [1]. Further excavation in 1966 revealed a mosaic pavement in a building in the northern part of the site [1]. More detailed excavations took place in 1969, 1972 and 1978 when the remains of buildings forming three sides of a courtyard were uncovered [1].
