Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Millwood Designer Homes to excavate land at Cliffs End Farm, Ramsgate prior to housing development. The extraordinary finds made during the 2004-5 excavations have allowed archaeologists to rethink the movement of people between this part of Kent and Continental Europe during the Bronze Age and Iron Age.

Wessex Archaeology was appointed to undertake excavation work in advance of the building Southampton Football Club’s new Friends Provident St Mary’s Stadium. They discovered an exceptionally rich Anglo-Saxon cemetery and found graves furnished with weapons, gold and fine gold jewellery.

The quiet little village of Michelmersh, near Romsey in Hampshire has an intriguing hidden history. No visible clues remain to show that it once produced pottery which was used as far afield as Wiltshire and West Sussex. Two pottery kilns have been found so far, one recently by Wessex Archaeology.

Wessex Archaeology record of over 1,000 years of uninterrupted settlement has been discovered in a huge archaeological excavation across six square kilometres (almost two and a half square miles) near Cambridge.

A team of 35 archaeologists have worked on and off for seven years at the site at Cambourne, nine miles west of the city, in advance of the construction of a new settlement with 3,300 homes.
