The Big DIg is excavating a trench in High Meadow (by Swan Surgery) with some additional searching going on in several private dwellings.

Anne Brooks from Liss Archaeology tells us about great early progress.

We also here from Volunteer Mandy who comes here from Australia just for the dig.

They are also looking for volunteer diggers!
