Neath- the remains of a 1st C #Roman auxiliary fort known as Nidum stands on the west bank of the River Neath. Remains of 2 gateways can be seen, & the line of a rampart wall. Initial excavation showed a gateway for a 2nd century #fort built of stone. #RomanFortThursday #History #RomanBritain

Beyond excited!

That’s how you stand up to Fascism #nooneisillegalonstolenland

Doesn’t much look like it’s been remedied, seems they had a lucky escape.

Oh that Hancock! 🙄

Not Togidubnus turning his back on generations of cooperation with his tribal neighbours and getting in bed with Rome.

Don’t start looking at the aerials again 🙄. #paredolia

My ancestors once farmed at Arne, I wonder how far back though 🤔

Four images of a drawing developing

Of course it's #HillfortsSaturday again 🥳🤔🧐

With the #EE WiFi down at home for over a week 😥 things got desperate...it was time to revisit a long overdue reconstruction of Pen y Crug hillfort, Brecon

It's a way off being finished but here is the work in progress...

Might have spotted myself some unrecorded Prehistoric Archaeology.
Have emailed the relevant person, let’s wait to see what they say 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Come on John, show us the final drawing ✍🏼

A series of 2 thousand years old sheep burials in a chalk cut pit. Scale and north arrow added

During the very last bit of context recording at #Durotriges25 we noticed a possible feature

We cleaned the feature

Asha and Megan dug the feature

It contained 4 Iron Age sheep burials

We have now recorded these

We will now stop looking for features and backfill !

Happy ##FindsFriday

Wouldn’t it be good if Tunde declined it.

Karen! That’s fantastic!

A rather large Horse Mandible from the fill of a Chalk Quarry pit. Does this bigger beastie mean it’s a Roman era quarry and not an Iron Age one as IA Ponies were smaller? I’m sure @durotrigesdig.bsky.social knows the answer?

In the last feature to be dug at #durotriges25, Jade has found the larger part of a Late Iron Age black burnished ware pedestal-base cup

A very nice find to end the dig 😍

Day 4 of packdown at #Durotriges25 and its a blur of context recording, planning, section drawing and photography

The Durotrigian drone is giving us good aerial views of specific areas of the trench

Such as this roundhouse, terraced platform, enclosure ditch, activity area combo 🤩

Want to take a quick tour of the newly discovered Iron Age roundhouse at #Durotriges25?

Of course you do 😀

Sound on 👍

Very quiet on site today but lots of Iron Age archaeology to record!!

Thanks to them and everyone else who participated in the Great Durotrigian Dig
