Dig unearths clues to town origins

ARCHAEOLOGISTS have unearthed the history of some of a town's oldest residents after carrying out a dig at an Iron Age hill fort.

Specialists spent last week carrying out excavation work at the fort, located within the grounds of the RSPB headquarters in Sandy.

By taking soil samples and digging trenches at the site, they have discovered Sandy's ancestors may have been in the area for a lot longer than previously thought.
