Last few days Tue/Wed/Thu to visit the excavations of the Roman Amphitheater dig at Richborough before it is infilled.
Tours for 20 only 11.00 and 14.00.
Well worth a visit.
N.B.my carer and I turned up at 09.45 this a.m. and were c.15th in queue.

I'm off work in a couple of days, might take a look.
Let's hope that the excavations that are starting to take place today on the Dover Roman Road unearth something so amazing this IBF get's kicked into the long grass, or at least grass nowhere near Dover!

One of the letters to Vindolanda translates as "Things are chaotic here at Dubris. The Gauls are playing silly buggers again and TAP is on Watling Street. The new fountain in the forum looks nice though."

Not sure if it'll work, but try this (it's zoomable), starting at Charlton Cemetery and going up the fitted line:
