Amateur dig strikes a Roman treasure


Recommended Posts

A ROMAN settlement full of fascinating artefacts has been uncovered near Burton Dassett. But funding is urgently needed if the local volunteer archaeologists are to complete the important excavation. Volunteers from the Felden Archaeological Society have discovered an array of items dating as far back as 500 BC, including flints, pottery and metal clips believed to be from a toga.

 

Aerial photos and geophysical tests have shown evidence of a one km sq stone settlement between Northend and Burton Dassett lying underneath the earth.
