We are counting down the days until the Big Dig recommences in the Allotments. Already the archaeology Master's students from the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education are assembling for their survey week which begins on the 27th of June. they will be doing a variety of non-invasive surveys around the village, doing geophysics (know popularly as 'geofizz') and GPS work and topographical survey. A buildings survey is also planned. More details will be reported as the Survey Week shapes up. there will be a public Open Evening in the Village Hall on Thursday July 1, from 6-8pm.
Excavation begins on the 4th of July in the Allotments and in our new North Trench. If you'd like to come dig with us, volunteer applications are still being accepted for the third week of the dig, July 18-23rd. Please complete the application found here and return it by July 3rd.
