Sutton amateur archaeologists close in on their ultimate goalIAN RAY reports on a project that shows how a community-organised venture has made a significant contribution to our knowledge of local pre-history.
FOR more than three years now, a group of volunteers, who have named themselves the Sutton Archaeological Group, have worked steadily to excavate a Bronze Age barrow at the village's gravel pits.
The barrow - a Bronze Age burial mound - has already provided a glimpse into the activities of the people in the area, but the team hopes to dig deeper and even uncover some human remains.
