Roman Road Excavation - Blog Diary, July 2022

 Day 4, Thursday 21st July 2022

Now mid way into the excavation, it was a day for 'cobbles, cobbles, and more cobbles' and as you can see we are finding plenty of them!

Scraping off the top layer of clay we are finding a pretty large expanse of typical Roman cobbled road. 

It's awesome to realise that this was built and used 2000 years ago!! It also continued to be a trackway and used by many people for centuries after it was abandoned by it's builders.






Carefully uncovering the surface of the road

In addition Brian is digging a test pit.....


...whilst Craig, Sarah and Aiden investigate more of trench 1 at the other end of the site.
