Poulton in the snow
A very recent and seasonal picture showing why things are rather quiet on site at the moment. Many thanks to Catherine Mcginn-roberts for permission to use her photograph.

Poulton on TV
The TV series featuring Poulton has been given a slot in the schedules. The series, called 'Grave Trade' starts on the (UK) History channel at 22:00 on Tuesday 15th January. Poulton is featured in Episode 4, to be shown on February 5th. Alas the series is only available on Sky and Virgin media. More details at History Channel website

Latest discoveries
It is very early days yet and everything needs further work and confirmation but we have recently discovered a number of post-holes at the Chapel site. Plotting them and how they relate to each other suggests there may be two circular features underlying the Chapel. The first, at the east end, is about 15m diameter (that's about the same size as the timber circle). The second, at the west end, is about 31m diameter. Work to clarify what these represent will continue in the new year.

Honours
We are very pleased to formally announce that Mike Emery, Alan Wilmshurst and Ray Carpenter are now Honorary Lecturers at Liverpool John Moores University. We are greatly flattered and honoured by this and the recognition it brings to Poulton. Read the story on the LJMU web site here
