Digging News

Carenza Lewis and her team from Cambridge University (together with teenagers from local schools) will be visiting again on 23rd and 24th May. This will be the fifth MiniDig. Once again we hope to organise another Community Dig in the summer.

Roman Farmstead?

Discussions have taken place with Richard Hoggett, the recently appointed Community Archaeologist at the Norfolk Historic Environment Service at Gressinghall, on the possibility of BLHG undertaking a significant project to determine the location and outline plan of the Roman Farmstead, thought to be in, or adjacent to, the Memorial Hall playing-field. Initially there will be a critical review of all recorded data, including scrutiny of aerial photographs. If this seems favourable and appropriate agreements are obtained, community activities may be arranged involving field walking, a geophysical survey and some of the Mini Digs. It is hoped to outline this potential project in more detail at the AGM.
