Take a stroll back through time with archaeologist Andrea Frankham-Hughes.
Dive into Portland’s deep history and discover stories of the Iron Age and Romano British (800 BCE to 410 CE) residents of the Island.
In 2005 archaeological excavations were undertaken at Weston Playing Fields by archaeologist Susann Palmer, the Association for Portland Archaeology and AC Archaeology, revealing enigmatic structures and human burials.
Being given unique access to the individuals found by AC Archaeology, Andrea is currently exploring their lives and deaths as the basis of her Postgraduate MRes project at Bournemouth University.
Her initial findings seem to reveal a complex community with varied burial rites. From early people crouched in stone cists to a woman buried with a rooster, this walk to St George’s Church and Weston Playing fields will give an overview of Andrea’s current research into the fascinating people of the Island who came before us.
Meet outside Girt Hall, St Georges Centre.
