Post-ex sessions have been planned to take place in Exeter.

Please contact Eileen if you would like further details.
2010 Fieldwork
A highly successful season of six weeks was completed in August - September. During that time the team was engaged in all the usual site activities including geophysical survey, plan drawing and hand excavation. The remarkably good weather meant a great amount could be done and we revealed and excavated a number of new features and completed the excavation of some key elements of the site. The drawings, documents and finds will be processed over the winter in the group's post-excavation sessions. Further fieldwork is currently being planned for 2011.
