The open day at Hatch Farm attracted over 260 visitors on what turned out to be a bright though very chilly Sunday afternoon. Visitors were taken on site tours and had the opportunity to see the ongoing excavation of features, chat to the teams from AH and TVAS, and to view and handle some of the many finds excavated over the past few weeks.
A gallery showcasing elements of the event is available here.
For some months now Armour Heritage, in association with Thames Valley Archaeological Services, has been involved in large scale excavations at Hatch Farm, Winnersh, prior to its development for housing. The excavations, joint funded by Bovis Homes and Persimmon Homes Thames Valley, have been undertaken over a number of areas identified during two phases of archaeological trial trench evaluation. The majority of the remains uncovered relate to a small rural farmstead, occupied during the later Iron Age and the earliest phases of the Roman occupation. Remains dating to earlier and later periods have also been identified at Hatch Farm and you are invited to come and see for yourself! The site is open to the public on Sunday the 24th April from 10am until 3pm, see fliers below for details - we hope to see you there!
