Andrew Young of the Avon Archaeological Unit and Geophysics expert Mark Noel of Durham University have put their own time and money into the early exploration of the site which seems to be a previously unknown Roman town. They hope that the importance of the site will persuade English Heritage to schedule the site to protect it for the future.

The archaeologists undertake two test digs relating to the geophysics reports that indicate that there might be a defensive feature and a paleochannel that could give important dating information for the site. With graphics and re-enactments we bring to life what this small Roman town might have looked like and give an idea of the people who lived at this small industrial site which on the evidence seems to have been occupied from the 1st to the 4th centuries.
