Late Bronze Age site

On the opposite bank of the south delph, the Environment Agency funded an archaeological dig involving Time Team from Channel 4 television. The dig took 6 weeks and ended 2 weeks before Christmas 2003.

What was found was a late Bronze Age craft site indicating metalsmiths at work. Amongst the many finds was copper ore and also a mould into which molten metal would have been poured.

The mosaic incorporates local motifs and represents the same interest in craft today
