Digging Opportunities

We are returning to the Roman site at Slimbridge, Gloucestershire that we have been working on for the past few years as part of the Slimbridge Archaeological Landscape Project.  The site has been covered with temporary covers over the Winter months so we can pick up from where we left off at the end of last season.  Those that were with us then will remember that we had uncovered a large bath house suite to the West of the aisled barn.  This is in association with a large villa building. During 2024 we will expand the trenches around the bath house to explore what remains of the main villa buildings.  Finds associated with the remains suggest a 1^st to 3^rd century villa within an exciting hitherto undiscovered Late Iron Age and Roman landscape.

The dates that we will be on this site are:

Monday 29^th April to Friday 03^rd May

Sunday 05^th May

Tuesday 07^th May to Thursday 09^th May

Sunday 12^th May to Thursday 16^th May

Monday 27^th May to Friday 31^st May

Sunday 02^nd June to Thursday 06^th June.

We are also working on bringing you some other exciting sites in the Cotswolds for 2024
