Ipplepen Excavation Open Day

The Exeter University and community archaeological excavation at Dainton Elms Cross, Ipplepen, is taking place this year from 6th June to 1st July. Excavations, prompted by metal-detector finds and a DCC-funded geophysical survey, have already revealed evidence of Iron Age and Romano-British settlement and an early medieval (or post-Roman British) cemetery.

New areas of the site are being investigated this year, and there will be an open day on Saturday 25th June.

The Devon HE Team will be at the open day with our hands-on archaeological artefacts, so come and say hello!
