A Time Team Excavation

The discovery of a uniquely well-preserved Roman cheese press in a field near Stilton by Richard Landy, a local potter who makes fine cheese dishes and happens to be a keen archaeologist, was too good a story for Time Team to ignore.

The "dig" pictures can be seen on Stilton Village's website just click here which were taken by Rick Landy and Paul Biggins.

The programme is expected to be broadcast between January and April 2007. Visit our links page for the official Channel 4's Time Team website.
