Come and see an archaeological dig in progress at an Open Day in historic Towcester.
There are two opportunities to come and visit Cotswold Archaeology’s archaeologists as they carry out a dig within historic Towcester. The dig is located just north of Bury Mount, the remains of the Norman motte at Moat Lane. The dig however has revealed evidence for Towcester’s Roman antecedent, the small town of Lactodurum.
On Thursday 30 May (4.00 – 7.00pm) and on Saturday 1 June (10.00am to 2.00pm), there will be opportunities to visit the excavations, meet the archaeologists and discover what has been found.
The archaeological dig is being undertaken on behalf of Morgan Sindall Ltd and South Northamptonshire Council in advance of the Moat Lane redevelopment.
As the dig progresses, we will post updates on our website. You can also read about new discoveries as they happen on Facebook and Twitter.
