I found this a marvellous programme
I like nothing better in a late winter evening than a glass of vintage port and a slice of stilton with oatmeal biscuits.
Time Team had a real struggle at Stilton, with the geophysics indicating a whole range of periods, from the Neolithic onwards.
For me, there was some satisfaction is the finding of a Roman cheese-making kit. How nice to think that the tradition has a known starting point some 2000 years in the past.
This site is of pertinence to our Project Area II. Right on the edge of the Fens, in the Roman period there was a landing stage for vessels coming upstream from the Wash. Later, in the Anglo Saxon, this silted up and became remote. The industrial area of the Romans became a hermitage.
Very nice and most enjoyable.
