Slimbridge, Gloucestershire - A Roman site
Slimbridge Archaeological Landscape Project
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 1st to 3rd century villa within an exciting hitherto undiscovered Late Iron Age and Roman landscape.
The dates that we will be on this site are:
Monday 29th April to Friday 03rd May
Sunday 05th May
Tuesday 07th May to Thursday 09th May
Sunday 12th May to Thursday 16th May
Monday 27th May to Friday 31st May
Sunday 02nd June to Thursday 06th June.
