Wymondley Roman Villa
United Kingdom
Wymondley Roman Villa is a Roman site, which has often been described as a Roman villa, near Hitchin, Hertfordshire, England. It is also known as Ninesprings Roman Villa. Recent archaeology interpreted the ruins as a bathhouse connected to a complex of ritual buildings and not a villa. It is situated in the valley of the River Purwell, where the river forms a boundary between the outskirts of Hitchin and the largely rural parish of Great Wymondley. In Roman times, as now, the site would have been above a wetland. This natural feature is protected as the Purwell Ninesprings nature reserve.
