Week 15 Update

We’ve been trying to understand what we've found and it’s turning into quite a complicated process, but we’ll get there!

Upcoming Tours and Talk 2022

Next year, we will be holding an open day and giving a final presentation at the village hall.

Open day, and what comes next

With the excavation works now complete we have demobilised from site.

Press Release

We have issued a press release about our excavation in Essex which has revealed the remains of a military barracks occupied during the Napoleonic Wars.

Trackways to the past

In the latest post from our team at Hinxton, they start to find answers to some of the questions we have about a major trackway across the site.

Update 8: Soggy Bottoms
