πŸ›οΈ Calling all history enthusiasts in Bovey Tracey! πŸŒ³πŸ”

Introducing the 'Bovi Roman Project,' a thrilling archaeological test pitting endeavor aimed at discovering evidence of the Romans in Bovey Tracey.

πŸ”Ž Are you curious about the ancient history that lies beneath your own back garden? Now's your chance to be a part of an exciting archaeological journey! 🌟

Test pits are carried out quickly, leaving no trace- a 1x1m wide pit that is 1m deep, dug, recorded and backfilled in the same day.

πŸ“’ Are you a resident of Bovey Tracey excited about our Roman heritage? If you're willing to let me conduct archaeological test pitting in your garden, please comment below or send me a direct message. Together, we can unveil the hidden stories of our town's rich past! πŸŒ³πŸ”

The first phase of the project will take place in the area shown below; the part of the town extending south from the Dolphin Hotel, including Brimley, Pottery Road and roundabout area, Blue Waters and Slade mead.

🌿 By allowing me to excavate in your garden, you'll be contributing to a groundbreaking project that could rewrite the history books! πŸ“šπŸŒ

πŸ™Œ Share this post with your friends and neighbours who might also be interested in being a part of the 'Bovi Roman Project' and let's unearth the mysteries of Bovey Tracey's Roman history together! πŸ›οΈβœ¨

Hi all,

Apologies for the lack of content!

Before the project starts however, to ensure that there is enough to inform the locations of the test pits- I need to ask YOU all for some information!

If you live in Bovey Tracey, Liverton, Heathfield, Hennock, Lustleigh, Teigngrace, Chudleigh Knighton, Ilsington or Newton Abbot - have you found any ancient pottery or artefacts in your garden or know of somewhere where it was found (ie building sites, building projects, roadworks)?

If you do, please message me either on Facebook or by email: [email protected] πŸ™‚

Below are some pottery recording guides as well as an image of some more artefacts and their respective time periods to help (apologies for the quality of the last one…!).

Thankyou in advance!!

This project aims to uncover any evidence of Roman existence in the area of Bovey Tracey in Devon, UK.

Coins found in the hills above, settlements in the lowlands nearby could mean that Romans were indeed marching, living and working in this area all those years ago!

So stay tuned for digging and (hopefully) lots of excitement!

See you all soon!
