Dorset farmer Simon Meadon's land
Dorset farmer Simon Meadon's land is packed with archaeology. There's a large Roman building, which might be a villa, but may be too big. On the other side of the hill there's a Bronze Age boundary ditch, a circular ring-ditch, Iron Age or Roman enclosures and another Roman building.
But most importantly, a number of burials have been found on Simon's farm. No one knows for sure who these people were. Three of them look like they're probably Romano-British, but the others might be later. Were they related to the large Roman building on the other side of the hill? Were people being buried here because there were prehistoric ritual monuments in the area? Are there prehistoric burials here as well? And what about the post-Roman people?
The Team have the task of untangling all the elements of the site, and then trying to identify more clearly who these people were, whether there are more of them buried here, and how they might be linked with the archaeology around them.
