Huge Roman villa found in Wales dubbed Port Talbot's Pompeii'

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."

"The buried remains of the largest Roman villa ever found in Wales have been detected beneath parkland on the south coast, in an amazing discovery that archaeologists have described as Port Talbot's Pompeii. The remains were discovered when a team was assembled to investigate the pre-industrial heritage of Margam Park, on the edge of Port Talbot, and they struck gold when geophysical surveys revealed the footprint of an unexpectedly large Roman villa complex."

A national news outlet operates without paywalls and requests donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. Donations finance investigative reporting, documentary production such as 'The A Word', and investigations into political finance including Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC. The outlet emphasizes trust across the political spectrum and a pay-what-you-can model to keep journalism accessible. In Wales, geophysical surveys beneath Margam Park on Port Talbot's edge revealed the buried remains of the largest Roman villa found in the country. Swansea University's Centre for Heritage Research and Training led the discovery, and the villa's size and preservation promise unparalleled insights into Wales's national story.
