Archaeology Walk

Highdown Hill dominates the coastal plain, with views from the Isle of Wight to the Seven Sisters. People have been drawn to this eminence for thousands of years, with archaeological finds from all eras discovered at the site. Perhaps the most famous are the remains of over 200 Anglo-Saxon settlers, who were buried with rich grave goods. Recently these remains have been studied using modern techniques, with exciting results.

Join our resident archaeologist James Sainsbury as he brings along genuine artefacts from the museum collections, giving attendees the opportunity to handle items in the locations they were originally found.
