After tea, Richard Hoyland and Sarah Fry gave a short presentation on the excavation at Tower Hill.
During the evening of 26th June, despite a poor weather forecast, 16 members enjoyed a leisurely summer walk to Caesar's Camp near Hale, via the abandoned settlement at Bricksbury Hill. The remains of dwelling walls and trackways showed evidence of the settlement which ended when the army bought the land in mid 19th century. Defensive banks and ditches mark the SW extent of the hill-fort, the origins of which are still debated. Returning to our cars parked on the Odiham Road we passed the remains of gravel extraction sites and a 60cm narrow-gauge industrial railway line.

At the members evening on 22nd May, John Paddon, with help from Richard Whaley, planned the route for the June 26th walk to Caesars Camp. Others gave some thought to the types of display material required for the Local Studies CBA Festival event in July. Further finds from the Tower Hill site were on show.
