Cotswold Archaeology and Boxford History Project
- DATE WRITTEN:
- READING TIME: 1 minute
Cotswold Archaeology has been involved in a three year community archaeology project “Revealing Boxford’s Ancient Heritage”, recently awarded £62,700 from the National Lottery Fund.
The project will investigate three closely linked Roman sites near to Boxford village in West Berkshire. Our archaeologists will support a local community group and volunteers. Under archaeological guidance the volunteers will examine the function, extent, status, chronology and relationship between the three sites, which seem to represent a significant focus of high-status Roman occupation in the Lambourn Valley, with the Roman Road, Ermin Street, nearby.
Volunteers will receive specialist training, giving them the skills to interpret their local heritage, and identify, record and protect these sites.
The dig starts on 25th August and will end on Sunday 6th September.
There will be a pre-dig session on 24th August.
There is still time to get involved!
