On Sunday 5th August 2001 we visited a Roman excavation in progress. This was the third visit of the Berkshire branch of the Cambridge Society to the Silchester site. We met for a picnic lunch at 1.00 pm and then were escorted round the excavations by one of the site experts from Reading University. The site is excavated for 6 weeks a year, in the summer, mainly be students from Reading.
Today the sun shone, and we had a wonderful day
