Your Thoughts:
The uncovering of what look like centuries-old if not Roman remains on the Huish Episcopi farmland where 100 homes are about to be built [yes it's farmland so why are we building on it? UK food security's obviously gone out of fashion] has sparked excitement among locals and triggered pages of speculation.
As we await the county archaeologist's official report, let's look at what people are saying in pubs, cafes and online....
😊
Could it be an early One Stop? That flagstone at the top slides open when you go near it and a tin of beans discovered in the mud there is 3 times as much as it is in Tesco. [Kenneth Williams]
I think it could be part of a shop chain, maybe connected to the place opposite Fosters newsagents & the post office......closed for 2000 years. [Peter Butterworth]
Look at those wheel barrows in the picture.....it's gotta be an early Overt Locke's. [Hattie Jaques]
It's definitely not an early Roman Freemasons Lodge, there's no sign of chariots double parked either side making it near on impossible to get through. [Charles Hawtrey]
Look at that splashback on the stone work, it's evidently where Eli's originally located the men's urinals, why they moved 'em back within nose range is anybody's guess. [June Whitfield]
Has ABP bought it yet? Must be room for 15 people in there surely? [Joan Sims]
😊
Certainly all food for thought.
Either way, it begs the question there must be more up there buried under the soil. How about opening it all up and making it a feature?
Or shall we just opt for more red lego houses up there instead?
Watch this space [or that hole even]
That's your Wednesday bulletin folks, thanks for the contributions and carry on reading!
