Maryport Roman dig ends
An archaeological dig in Maryport has now ended. Previous evidence found suggested the settlement had been occupied by Romans before the reign of Hadrian.
Archaeologists uncover new findings at Roman fort
The remains of a town dating back nearly 2,000 years have been uncovered near Maryport.
The site is near to a Roman Fort and although it's been explored before, a new archaeological dig is uncovering extra material to help explain life in the 2nd and 3rd centuries.
Volunteers are helping archeologists to unearth what's been lying undisturbed for almost two millennia.
