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).

Our November speaker is Professor Tony King who will give a talk on ‘Meonstoke – temple or villa?’ Evidence for a Roman building on the edge of Meonstoke, in the Meon Valley near Winchester, has been known since the 1930s. Excavations since the 1980s have uncovered an aisled building with a collapsed facade and more recently an unusual hexagonal building. Research continues into its function.
