The title is a bit misleading as these excavation were done on the bypass around Cannington (so even closer to that rally site), there are loads of videos about it here...

Cheers Geoff, I thought the last interview was good with the older woman of the two, I found a photo of the burial she was talking about, theres a little more to the story than she told.........A decapitated skeleton with a copper alloy bracelet was covered by two slanting slabs.

I love that area around Cannington , I'm going have to try and make time to visit the Somerset museum. Whats the chances
of holding another rally there ?
