Welcome to our website!

Last Updated: 24 June 2009

We trust you find this site interesting and informative, and welcome your comments or feedback. See below for the latest news from Poulton.

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?

Reconstruction of a late Iron Age/Roman roundhouse
Reconstruction of the Poulton roundhouse continues apace. With the thatcher due on the 27th, we are making progress on the roof structure. See our updated photographic diary.

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.

2009 Season Training Courses
The site will be open from 22nd June to 28th August.

For full details of the costs please read this leaflet (PDF, 139 Kbytes). To register, please go to the student registration page or, if not a student, the training registration page.  Please note that we will require a deposit of £25 per week.

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.
