Brading Roman Villa
Brading Roman Villa was a Roman courtyard villa which has been excavated and put on public display in Brading on the Isle of Wight.
==Discovery and excavation==
In 1879, a farmer called Mr Munns struck a buried mosaic floor while making holes on his land for a sheep pen. Captain Thorp of Yarbridge, who was in the area looking for Roman antiquities, helped Mr Munns uncover the Gallus panel the next day. By spring 1880, all of the site on Mr Munns' land had been excavated, which was half the villa; the remainder lay in the Oglander estate. Excavations were able to continue when Lady Louisa Oglander purchased the other half of the site.〔(History at Brading Roman Villa ), 29 April 2009〕
Although the site was open to the public by the Oglander estate for many years, it was handed over to a charitable trust in 1994 and upgraded with a visitor centre, exhibition, shop and cafe.〔(About Brading Roman Villa ), 25 January 2010〕 In 2004 the cover building was replaced and the visitor facilities were upgraded.〔(Historic villa opens after revamp ), BBC News, 1 August 2004〕 Behind the site is a small amphitheatre made from grassy banks. This was recently made from spoil from the building work.
Oxford University began a five-year excavation in August 2008, with hopes that it would reveal some new mosaics.〔(Roman villa set to be excavated ), BBC News, 2 March 2008〕
