Our President, Dr Francis Pryor, of Flag Fen and Time Team fame, well-respected field archaeologist, sent me the following message following the receipt of our next season’s programme mentioning the lecture on Ravensburgh Iron Age hillfort and the excavations there in 1964:
“I was on James Dyer’s 1964 dig at Ravensburgh. Very fond memories. It got me hooked on archaeology!
Francis”.
