Well at least the developers, Taylor Woodrow, are concerned and excited enough to want to preserve the remaining finds by tunneling under them. What a shame that in the past more of this type of agreement couldn't be reached. Our history would be a little clearer if they were.

 

One question Viggen... do you know if the excavated areas or even part of it has been mooted for a more permanent display or are they to be back filled?
