Norton Disney History and Archaeology Group

What’s Happening In 2025?

This year we are focusing on a number of projects

1) We have commissioned a study of pottery sherds found when the Norton Disney Roman villa was excavated in 1934 and 1935. These sherds have lain undisturbed since then in boxes at Newark Museum. We hope to discover new insights into the villa.

2) This spring we are surveying areas of Norton Disney in preparation for our summer excavation. More to be revealed in due course.

3) The first two weeks of June 2025 our group will be excavating with our team of volunteers. 

4) Our site open day will be Saturday 14th June  10am to 2pm.

5) On Sunday 15th June we will be taking part in the NK walking festival and leading an archaeology walk at 4pm.

6) On Sunday 29th June another archaeology walk will take place in Norton Disney village at 2pm.

7) Time Team this spring will be releasing on YouTube episodes of the Norton Disney excavation filmed in September 2024.
