Our next session will be on Saturday 2nd September where we have been invited by Context One Archaeology to take part in their excavation of a prehistoric site near Broomfield on the Quantock Hills!

The site was discovered by aerial photography where changes in the growth of crops planted in the field reveal a circular enclosure nearly 100m across.  The size and shape of the enclosure suggest it could be Neolithic or Bronze Age.  The purpose of the excavation is to find out exactly what and how old the enclosure is.

There is hardly any parking at the site and so the Quantock Hills Landscape Partnership have arranged for minibuses to take us up there. The minibuses will pick us up at 10am from Castle Green outside the Museum of Somerset.  I will confirm the time we’ll get back to Taunton nearer the time but this will probably be around 3.30 -4pm.

Please bring:
Warm and waterproof clothing and footwear
Sunhat and sun cream
Lunch, drinks and snacks
Gardening kneeler and gloves if you have them.

Please email to book your place on this exciting opportunity!
