This weekend (16th-18th June), Time Team, the renowned archaeology television series, will be visiting the West Country for a very special dig that will see them work closely with local residents, volunteers, the primary school, and even the local scout troop.
The three-day dig, located in Modbury, South Devon, will trace the settlement’s history, from its Medieval origins and involvement in the English Civil War, up to its fascinating overseas connections.
Speaking on the venture, Time Team’s finds specialist Dani Wootton said: “We’re very excited to be working with the local community to discover more about Modbury’s history.”
Local resident Rosemary Parker added: “Modbury History Society is very excited to welcome the renowned Time Team to Modbury. It’s a wonderful opportunity for residents to delve into the past by taking part in the mini digs led by a team of world class experts and to reveal hidden secrets of our ancient and beautiful town.”
