Channel 4's Time Team Visits Ely (original) (raw)

TiME TEAM Producer Graham Dixon gave Ely.org.uk an sneak insight into the findings of the site.

So far we have discovered a Victorian Kiln or Oven along with the foundations of some 15th Century Homes...
Digging deeper we have discovered house remains dating back to the 12th Century and down towards the river we have found what we believe to be proof that boat building was carried out on the site...

This is a very important excavation and we hope to find that Saxon peoples were using the site before the Norman Conquest and maybe Romans before that.

We may even be lucky enough to discover Iron Age remnants like those found on the other side of Ely in the West Fen Area.
