Excavation at Cocks Farm Abinger 2024

Date: 
Friday, 14 June, 2024 - 09:30 to Monday, 22 July, 2024 - 16:00

Our Summer excavation 2024 will take place at Cocks Farm Abinger. Following excavations on the scheduled Roman villa site our focus has moved to the field adjacent to the villa. Magnetometry indicated a series of field boundaries, ditches, pits and other anomalies (see https://www.surreyarchaeology.org.uk/content/excavations-at-cocks-farm-roman-villa-abinger-2009-present-interim-reports).

This may be the last season of large scale excavation so don't miss out on taking part.

The dates are as follows:

14-15th June (a RSG visit is taking place on Sunday 16th so the site will be closed), 17th June, 20th - 24th June, 27th June - 1st July, 4-6th (7-10th long weekend off), 11-15th, 18-22nd July. The site will be closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Priority will be given to Roman Studies Group and Surrey Archaeological Society members but non-member are welcome to apply. At this stage all that is needed is an expression of interest. Please e-mail romanstudiesgroup@btinternet.com
