A decade of archaeological discovery will be explored at a public talk.

Professor Henry Chapman from the University of Birmingham’s Department of Archaeology will speak in Oswestry about excavations at The Berth near Baschurch, carried out by the university’s Field School over a ten-year period.

The talk, hosted by the Oswestry & Border History & Archaeology Group (OBHAG), will take place on Friday, January 9 at 7.30pm at the Methodist Church Hall on Castle Street.

John Pryce-Jones, chairman of OBHAG, said: "the Berth is very important site, a mixture of marshy peatland and open pasture, including an Iron-Age fort – a marsh fort rather than a hill fort – and raised trackways.
"Now that these extensive excavations have been concluded, it will be fascinating to hear what Professor Chapman’s thoughts are on this site".

OBHAG welcomes new members and visitors to its monthly talks.
