VR Gallery
If you don't already have it installed on your computer, you will need a simple free QuickTime download from www.apple.com/quicktime to run these VRs. The minimum version required is 3, although 5 is better. Once installed, clicking on any of the links below should start the VR after a short downloading delay. Each VR provides a 360-degree panoramic view of different aspects of the excavation, enabling you to zoom in or out and explore the site from different angles.

Panoramic VR1: The digger takes off the top layer of one of the trenches, careful not to cut too deep since in 1838 the archaeology was reported to be just 14 inches beneath the surface.

Panoramic VR2: Mick Aston, digger Katie Hirst and Roman buildings expert Mark Corney by Trench 1, which identified one of the most visible crop marks as a Roman ditch.

Panoramic VR3: Trench 4, where two Roman walls were found crossing at right angles.

Panoramic VR4: A team of academics, students and volunteers reconstruct one of the mosaics found by navvies in 1838.

Panoramic VR5: Accurately measuring and recording the trenches is every bit as important as the excavation itself.
