Possible new site.

A new site has been looked at by members of the group at Weymouth. This area has been settled due to the river and access to the sea at this point. Good for trading and setting up mills. Roman and medieval features have been found around here. 

Our Chairman David Northam showing us the site. 

One area to investigate.

A second area to look at.

Some buildings that will be useful for storage and post excavation work.

Plans are afoot to do some geophysics surveying and the results will be published here soon.   

Saw point

On his orders, Stalbridge House was taken down by the Earl of Uxbridge. This is the actual saw used to amputate the Earl of Uxbridge’s leg at the battle of Waterloo. Plus the bloody gloves used by his surgeon. The earl sounds like a cool customer, he merely remarked that the saw was ‘somewhat blunt’!
