County Council archaeologist Quinton Carroll, will be at Landbeach this Saturday (14/3), to give people and local societies a unique picture of Cambridgeshire’s history.

He will be conducting a guided tour of the County Archaeology Store which contains thousands of objects and artefacts which have been discovered over the past 20 years during numerous archaeological excavations.

The store contains remains from the past 10,000 years of Cambridgeshire’s history – including prehistoric flint axes, fine Roman pottery and Saxon burial treasures.

The event has been organised as part of Cambridge Science Week – tours will be held between 10am and 1pm and are free of charge, but places are limited and booking is advised. For more information or to book a place, contact Anne Solly on 718133 or Quinton Carroll on 712335. The Archaeology Store is in the High Street, Landbeach and it will be clearly signposted on the day.

Landbeach itself has a rich heritage stretching back as far as the Iron Age. Excavations have revealed important remains on County Farm land to the east of the village. In addition, the remains of the medieval village are still visible at Worts Meadow pocket park.
