Some assorted items caught in the screen:
Will Bowden is fighting to have a buried Roman villa site in Notthingham preserved from development:
A bit out of the period of our purview, but likely of interest, is a report of a mosaic from a synagogue at Ma’On Nirim being cleaned and open to the public:

- Byzantine Bathhouse Provides Shelter Amid Rocket Attacks (Arutz Sheva)
Strange — to me at least — is this story about archaeologists explaining failure to find a Roman wall in Gloucester as the result of ‘medieval recycling’ (seems plausible; I just find it strange that this would warrant press coverage):
- Roman wall escapes archaeologists’ trowels (This is Gloucestershire)
Reassessing the Roman occupation (or lack thereof) in Wigan:
- When Romans ruled our town … (Wigan Today)
Heritage Lottery funding to tourisify Colchester Roman Circus has fallen through:
- Funding setback for Roman racing track (East Anglian Daily Times)
