We've had a fantastic start to our Ambarvalia event. Flour has been milled, broad beans planted, paper mosaics created and produce trails solved. 🌾🌱🖼🕵‍♂️ Ambarvalia runs until Sunday 31st of May so there is still plenty of time to pop up. #romans #festival #sussex #whatson

Our site really is a tonic for the soul. Those Romans really knew how to pick a spot. #rurallife #sussex #romans #farm #history

No chickens here, but we do have pheasants (or are they peacocks) 🤔

Today is #findsfriday! To celebrate this we have a challenge. This mystery glass object was discovered on site earlier this week courtesy of chief archaeologist Professor Mole! But what exactly is it that he has found? 🤔 (coin for scale as I couldn't find a small enough banana!!) #detective 🕵‍♂️

We thought we might have a go at #hillfortwednesday This is the view from our office window looking east. Beyond the adorable lambs, Chanctonbury Ring emerges from the mist. Suggested as one of the most haunted places on the South Downs. Has anyone experienced a mysterious encounter there?? #sussex

Well I do like a themed meal to accompany my evening's entertainment. That occasion I believe may have been stuffed vine leaves and pesto pasta, accompanied by a nicely chilled pinot. And of course a glass of lemoncello to finish 🍋 😋
