A Pre-Historic day!
Gravel extraction nears completion on the Cemex site, in fields north of the crossroads at West Deeping.
The archaeologists from Cambridge Archaeological Unit will soon have finished their work. They will show some of the finds made since excavations began in 2010, and tell us about their historical significance, in both the local and national context.`
Saturday 19th October: 1- 5 pm
West Deeping Village Hall will be open to the public for a display of some of the archaeological finds. There will be archaeologists from Cambridge Archaeological Unit on hand and information boards to explain what these discoveries reveal about the very earliest inhabitants of our village – from the Neolithic period, through the Bronze and Iron Ages – with significant evidence of Romano-British occupation and Saxon activity.
Saturday 19th October: 6.30 for 7 pm
