MEDIEVAL archaeology discovered under a garage will be revealed at an archaeology group's next meeting.
Appleby Archaeology Group’s next get together will share information about the medieval archaeology discovered under the former Roy Ashley garage when it was demolished to build Appleby’s new Co-op shop.
During the summer of 2019, Wardell Armstrong carried out archaeological investigations on the site of the former Roy Ashley garage on The Sands, Appleby.

Two out of three evaluation trenches did not reveal evidence of earlier activity on the site.
However, the final trench revealed a substantial wall foundation overlying an earlier kiln or oven and an area was then opened up for a wider excavation ahead of construction work for the new Co-op building.
This site has been dated to the medieval period using finds recovered during the excavation including medieval pottery.
The meeting will be held in the Supper Room above the Market Hall in Appleby at 7.30pm on Thursday, March 9.
