flag Archaeologists found the largest Roman villa in Wales, revealing a wealthy elite lived in south Wales during the Roman era.

flag Archaeologists have discovered the largest Roman villa ever found in Wales beneath Margam Country Park in Port Talbot, described as a "Port Talbot’s Pompeii" due to its exceptional preservation. flag Using ground-penetrating radar, researchers identified a 572-square-meter villa with at least 14 rooms, corridors, a veranda, and defensive ditches, likely occupied from the 1st to 5th centuries AD. flag The site, protected by centuries as a deer park, suggests a wealthy elite lived in south Wales, challenging prior beliefs that the region was a remote frontier. flag The find, part of a community heritage project, is expected to reshape understanding of Roman-era civilian life in Wales, with more details to be shared in a public announcement in January 2026.
