Digging for History: the secrets of Devizes’ Roundway Down unearthed as part of Festival of Archaeology

Local residents and history enthusiasts in Devizes and the surrounding villages are being invited to come along and learn more about the secrets of Roundway Down at an event being hosted by National Grid and Wessex Archaeology as part of the UK’s annual Festival of Archaeology.

The theme of this year’s festival is Archaeology and Community and National Grid is looking forward to sharing the fascinating history discovered during the early stages of its work on the Visual Impact Provision (VIP) project to remove 4.6km of overhead line and 13 pylons, and replace them with underground cables.
