Commissioned by Synergy, Wessex Archaeology delivered specialist services for the Bath Abbey Footprint Project, a major heritage initiative to restore and enhance the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Wessex Archaeology’s Studio team are now creating Virtual Reality (VR) experiences based on real archaeological sites. This allows a much wider audience to visit a fully immersive digital version of archaeological sites.

Wessex Archaeology's excavation work at Yatton, ahead of construction work for a Primary School and housing development, has discovered a trackway, which was in use during the Iron Age and Romano-British periods, with settlement enclosures lining the route. 

Much of Scotland’s well-known archaeology is visible in the form of structures; such as stone circles, crannogs, iron age brochs and hillforts, and, medieval castles. However, within the vast Scottish landscape, with its extensive coastline and numerous islands, much of the archaeology is buried or submerged within its lochs, waterways, estuaries, and seas. 

Kent County Council’s construction of a new road link, the second phase of the East Kent Access (EKA2), on the south side of the Isle of Thanet provided a rare opportunity for Wessex Archaeology to undertake large-scale investigations of this important archaeological landscape.

Between 1999 and 2007 Framework Archaeology, a joint venture between Wessex Archaeology and Oxford Archaeology, carried out major excavations in advance of the construction of Terminal 5 at Heathrow, on behalf of BAA. The results of the excavations were published in two monographs – which were accompanied by an innovative interactive digital archive.

Wessex Archaeology has been involved with Time Team from the very beginning through one of the programme’s best known characters, Phil Harding. In this section you can explore some of our work with Time Team, and find out what happens after the TV show.

The site of Wessex Archaeology West’s excavation at the Hucclecote Centre, Hucclecote lies to the north of a Roman villa which is known from excavations undertaken by Canon Bazeley in 1911 and E.M. Clifford in 1933. The earliest parts of the Hucclecote villa complex are thought to have been built c. AD 150, but the presence of pottery below its floors suggested that there was an early Romano-British settlement pre-dating it.

Wessex Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological works on the south side of Chipping Campden, in the Cotswolds of Gloucestershire, which have produced the first archaeological evidence for Saxon settlement in the town. The works were undertaken by our Bristol Team in advance of a proposed residential development in Badgers Field, off George Lane.
