For 3 years this was held at Mayfield Park, where local residents helped archaeologists discover the remains of an old water-powered saw mill and mill house, where we think the pioneering circular saw was used by the inventor, Walter Taylor. Other digs have taken place in Lords Wood, where medieval boundary banks and ditches are being investigated over the next few years, and at the 18th century Seaweed Hut on Weston Shore. Our latest project includes a survey of the Itchen foreshore. So far remains of pre-historic, Roman and later periods have been identified. The 19th and early 20th centuries wrecks are being recorded.
Volunteers are welcome.
