Mike Fulford has kindly offered to talk to us on 'The Silchester Environs Project'. He led a research team in a five year project to explore the later prehistoric use of the c.140km2 landscape around Silchester Roman Town and its underlying Late Iron Age oppidum. Its base was an extensive desktop assessment containing a vast array of data, both old and new, which was incorporated in a project-wide GIS. It was further supported by various geophysics techniques, lidar, earthwork surveys, walkover reconnaissance, coring exercises and excavation.

Roman Southampton was important but can be enigmatic, not least because so much material went into the River Itchen in the nineteenth century.

A RSG Zoom talk will take place on Tuesday 3rd March 2026. Emma Corke, Director of the Cocks Farm Abinger excavations will update  us as to the results of the 2025 season of work.
