What are we looking for?

Ø This will be a very special project. Nobody knows what evidence to look for on an ancient battlesite.

So, we are:

Ø Conducting a systematic survey of 60 Ha. looking for metal and pottery to discover how the land has been used.

Ø Surveying the soil to discover how the landscape has changed.

Ø Archive research and much, much more...

Gradually we will work out the course of this neglected battle.
