Fishbourne, West Sussex Location map Fishbourne Roman Palace Like several Roman sites (see, for example, Bignor Roman Villa), Fishbourne was discovered by accident. In 1960 a local farmer was digging a water main trench when he uncovered remains of Roman mosaics. Ongoing investigation over the course of the next nine years revealed that the Fishbourne remains were one of the most extensive in Britain and contained some of the finest mosaics in the country.
