This talk is free of charge and has been made possible by funding from the National Lottery Community Fund.
Date: Wednesday 27th September
Time: 6.30pm – 8pm
Location: Roche Victory Hall Social Club, 15 Victoria Road, Roche, St. Austell, PL26 8JF
This talk was hosted earlier this year in Indian Queens and is being repeated due to its popularity. It will once again be led by Sean Taylor, Senior Archaeologist at Cornwall Archaeological Unit.
Entitled ‘What have the Romans ever done for Roche?’, Sean will offer his expert insight into the sites uncovered by CAU prior to the main construction works commencing for the St Austell to A30 Link Road. Dating from the Neolithic period to post-Roman, these include an 18-acre Roman camp and 28-acre fortlet, an Early Neolithic longhouse, a Middle Neolithic enclosure, Late Neolithic pits, Bronze Age roundhouses and barrows, an Iron Age or early Romano-British roundhouse and post-Roman structures.
Refreshments, including pasties, will be served.
Numbers are restricted and places are available on a first-come-first-served basis.
