THE LAND ROVERS: A HISTORY HUNTING PODCASTEpisode 13. Villa DaisyWe've been away for a while, even though we are trying to release an episode every 2 weeks - but it's for a very good reason!We've been out in one of George's favourite fields - home to a previously unknown Roman Villa, and one that we've had to wait a year to get back on. Could it be linked to Britain's largest Claudian treasure, the Helmingham Hoard? Who lived there? What did they leave for the boys to unearth? And it could it be the heart of a wider Roman settlement? All we'll say is... the answers to all of those questions are very exciting.To never miss an episode, please follow and subscribe on your favourite podcast platform.And to see images and videos of everything discussed and discovered, please follow us across our socials:Instagram: @thelandroverspodcastFacebook & YouTube: The Land Rovers: A History Hunting PodcastAlso - we now have a website!
