The Romans recycle
The site investigated for this programme covers several fields and lies between two villages – Wickenby to the west and Lissington to the east. It lay hidden for centuries until discovered by a local metal detectorist, Keith Kelway. Over the years Keith has recovered more than 300 metal artefacts from the area. Most are Roman, with some Iron-Age and Anglo-Saxon material.More about Wickenby »
What they found
There were at least two competing interests at play in this excavation. Time Team's Roman expert, Guy de la Bédoyère, was most interested, as you might expect, in uncovering the story behind the 300-plus Roman items found by metal detecting on the site. These include 100 brooches, mostly dating from the 1st century AD.
