With most arable land now harvested areas have opened up for surveying, although typically the weather has turned very wet.
Summer projects involved further research of early wireless sites with visits to Marconi's Lizard Wireless Station and Poldhu Wireless Station. In addition, documentary research of the Banbury Imperial Wireless Chain receiving site was carried out ahead of an article for Banbury Museum.
For anyone interested in early wireless sites, which are an ongoing research theme for us, we have a small number of signed copies of Larry Bennett's "Portishead Radio" for £10 +p&p and "The Marconi Beam Wireless Stations of Somerset" for £14 +p&p, contact us on info@archaeological-surveys.co.uk.

During fieldwork carried out in the parish of Pillerton Priors in Warwickshire, a high status Roman building was located. The villa is an important find in the region where few high status Roman sites are known.
