2024 Dig Diary, Last years digging confirmed that the area to the east of the fort is a possible annex and buildings containing hearths and ovens have been found.
2023 Dig Diary, The land immediately to the east of the fort is flat and had a few odd archaeological features.
Firstly there is no sign of a fort ditch and earlier investigations (see below) showed signs of possible buildings and roads within the area. Whats going on?
2014-2015 Dig diary, The story of our Big Project, funded by HLF and guided by Salford University Centre for Applied Archaeology, through the early summer of 2014.
We had permission to re-evaluate archaeological findings from previous digs and discovered many interesting features previously unknown.
Local schools, volunteers from the community and from smaller groups enjoyed 6 weeks of an intensive, exciting, inspiring dig.
