Copyright M. Watts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Excavations on the Iron Age, Roman and early medieval site at Ipplepen continued this summer for an 8th successful year. Ipplepen is proving a remarkable site with features and finds suggesting that this may be more than a typical rural community. This year\u2019s excavation, led by Exeter University, revealed two substantial four-post structures surrounded by gullies dating to the Late Iron Age-early Roman period. The structures are tentatively interpreted as raised granaries. Roman period ditches containing significant amounts of butchered cattle bone, suggesting beef production, were also found.<\/p>\n<p>More information can be found on the <a href=\"http:\/\/humanities.exeter.ac.uk\/archaeology\/fieldwork\/ipplepen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">University of Exeter webpages<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excavations on the Iron Age, Roman and early medieval site at Ipplepen continued this summer for an 8th successful year.
