"The discovery of a #woman, #buried between 630 and 670 AD, has changed #archaeologists’ notions of the period...
"...So much about the dig in April was inauspicious... Harpole, whose name means “filthy pool”, was previously only known for its annual scarecrow festival &... one of the worst motorway service stations in the UK."
