Were there any Roman villas in Britain which were used rather than destroyed after the Romans left?

Time Team excavated a villa some years ago that was probably repurposed into a brewery. I saw the episode on Youtube. There was a row of holes in a floor indicating posts for a partition wall, and remains of grain storage. That is about all I remember as it was some time ago I saw the episode. But there was other evidence that part of the building was in use after the Romans left.

There is evidence of villas in use well after 600AD, When the Pope sent missionaries to Britain between 580 - 640AD, They reported of well organised and well run towns, the people enjoying bath houses, fine food, and many buildings from Roman times still in use, They reported staying in Villas with fine mosaics, during their mission, and a well run and equipped Romanized Army, and still mainly latin speaking Romanized peoples
