Dings Crusaders Roman Villa

Between summer 2016 and spring 2018, Cotswold Archaeology excavated the site of the Dings Crusaders Roman villa at Stoke Gifford, Gloucestershire.

The work was funded by Redrow during their redevelopment of land previously used as rugby pitches by Dings Crusaders RFC. The excavations have provided fascinating insights into the development of a Late Roman villa landscape.
