Based on LIDAR studies, there was a suspicion that there was a Roman presence in Farndon, UK, on the banks of the River Dee.

An archaeological dig in Farndon on land in the Barnston Estate has successfully uncovered Roman remains showing industrial activity.

Dozens of volunteers from Holt and Farndon took part in the ten-day dig close to the banks of the River Dee last month.

Using the results of aerial photography, LiDAR and geophysical surveys, six trenches were dug.

“Other smaller finds included a ceramic spindle whorl, tile fragments, iron nails and one worked flint. We also discovered a few Roman coins that suggest the site is mid to late Roman, approximately 4th Century.“
