On Saturday, we are going in completely the opposite direction to last weekend and heading to Shropshire to investigate a Roman fort there.
The landscape is full of different time periods but we're looking for mainly Roman evidence and the possibility of a little Medieval history too.
At the corner of the Roman field is farm that used to be a hall back in the 1200's and was still in use as a hall in the Tudor period.
A quick recce revealed C16th pottery so thats the Tudor box ticked.
The fields are all harvested and are in the process of being drilled.
This is another new permission on a shooting estate and covers quite an area and one which I wrote to about 5 years ago!
So, fingers crossed, we may find some of that Roman and Medieval evidence just below the surface of the new crop.....
