Time Team comes to Faversham

Over 60 people from Time Team descended on Syndale recently to explore and film recent discoveries. Paul Wilkinson’s theory was that there was evidence of a Roman fort from the Claudian invasion of Britain buried under the 18th century estate at Syndale, just to the west of Faversham. They were not disappointed, and discoveries were made which can be seen when the programme is aired in January 2004. A dig is currently underway to build on Time Team’s discoveries, ending August 3rd. To participate phone 01795 532548; cost £35 per day or £25 for members of Kent Archaeological Field School.
