Lyminge Archaeology

Some SWAG members have been involved with the Lyminge dig this summer.

Lyminge is a rare and important Anglo-Saxon settlement site. Archaeologists from the University of Reading along with university students and local volunteers are excavating here each summer

The Lyminge Archaeological Project is an ambitious programme of village-core archaeology examining the antecedents and development of a documented Anglo-Saxon monastic community founded by the Kentish royal dynasty during the 7th century AD.
