Event details
Run by the University of Exeter, this will be the fourth season excavating at the site, a complex series of enclosures and structures.
Geophysical survey and a significant number of Roman coin finds have highlighted the importance of this extensive site and its potential to explore the relationship between Roman Britain and its native population. Last year’s field school revealed an Iron Age roundhouse and Romano-British features, along with evidence for Neolithic activity.
The dig is funded by the University of Exeter, Portable Antiquities Scheme, British Museum and Devon County Council.
