Tracing our footsteps: medieval lords

Preventive Archaeology takes place on sites that are in danger of disappearing due to any type of architectural or engineering work. Public works in the area around the English town of Cannington allowed archaeologists to hold a dig in summer 2014, which will bring to light the remains of three Roman buildings; the constructions formed part of a luxury villa from the Roman period. Together with this, identification of levels from the Iron Age and medieval period will make it possible to offer a complete overview of the historical development of the site.
