Westbury “villa rustica” – an excavation in progress by Andrew Buchanan

14 April, 2023 @ 19:30 - 21:00

Since 2020 the Westbury Society Archaeology Group has been excavating a recently discovered Romano British building. It is believed to be the owner’s home of a farmstead, and the size of the house, plus finds so far, indicate a degree of wealth, though not sufficient to afford a mosaic floor. Despite being fairly modest compared to some Somerset villas of a similar period, it is revealing useful information about the lives of local people 1700 years ago.

Meetings are held in The Lecture Hall at Wells & Mendip Museum.

Admission FREE for members. Visitors £2.00
