Neath- the remains of a 1st C #Roman auxiliary fort known as Nidum stands on the west bank of the River Neath. Remains of 2 gateways can be seen, & the line of a rampart wall. Initial excavation showed a gateway for a 2nd century #fort built of stone. #RomanFortThursday #History #RomanBritain

Doesn’t much look like it’s been remedied, seems they had a lucky escape.

Four images of a drawing developing
Of course it's #HillfortsSaturday again 🥳🤔🧐
With the #EE WiFi down at home for over a week 😥 things got desperate...it was time to revisit a long overdue reconstruction of Pen y Crug hillfort, Brecon
It's a way off being finished but here is the work in progress...

Parchmark of a possibly Bronze Age Barrow in Dorset.
Parchmark of a possibly Neolithic Cursus in Dorset.
Parchmark of a rectilinear enclosure and adjacent possibly Mortuary Enclosure in Dorset.
Might have spotted myself some unrecorded Prehistoric Archaeology.
Have emailed the relevant person, let’s wait to see what they say 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Come on John, show us the final drawing ✍🏼

A series of 2 thousand years old sheep burials in a chalk cut pit. Scale and north arrow added
During the very last bit of context recording at #Durotriges25 we noticed a possible feature
We cleaned the feature
Asha and Megan dug the feature
It contained 4 Iron Age sheep burials
We have now recorded these
We will now stop looking for features and backfill !
Happy ##FindsFriday
Wouldn’t it be good if Tunde declined it.

An archaeologist holds part of an Iron Age pottery cup
In the last feature to be dug at #durotriges25, Jade has found the larger part of a Late Iron Age black burnished ware pedestal-base cup
A very nice find to end the dig 😍

Aerial photo of an archaeological trench showing dark prehistoric warth filled features contrasting against white chalk geology
Day 4 of packdown at #Durotriges25 and its a blur of context recording, planning, section drawing and photography
The Durotrigian drone is giving us good aerial views of specific areas of the trench
Such as this roundhouse, terraced platform, enclosure ditch, activity area combo 🤩
Want to take a quick tour of the newly discovered Iron Age roundhouse at #Durotriges25?
Of course you do 😀
Sound on 👍

She is happy 🐕
Well I’ll be doubly at risk of a dodgy tan then! ⛏️💀🌿🪴

An archaeological trench with prehistoric ditches and a small section of flint wall exposed
Day 1 of #Durotriges25 packdown
Very quiet on site today but lots of Iron Age archaeology to record!!
A mass of archaeologists stand in front of an Iron Age ditch waving enthusiastically at the camera

Thanks to them and everyone else who participated in the Great Durotrigian Dig
We love you guys! 👋
