Serendipity
Who would have thought that an accidental mix-up of a lead fishing weight
with some disarticulated human bone would have produced such an
interesting result?
How we are Doing
Here's our full 2008 season
report.
Poulton plumbs new depths!
Our first venture into underwater archaeology uncovers the potential
remains of a pier or landing stage which may have been used to transport
grain across the River Dee to the mill at Aldford.
It's a small world
A tale of Poulton related coincidences.
The Poulton Plaque
A sub-rectangular fragment of limestone was recently recovered from a section
through
Ring-ditch II. The top surface of this fragment is scored by a
series of cross-hatched lines.
Third time lucky?
We are currently investigating a nearby field as a possible site for the lost Abbey.
Buy one, get one free!
As hoped (expected?) we have uncovered a second ring
ditch - and now a third! Read more about them and see our photographic
diary.
