Although at first glance Calf Hill looks like an empty landscape, archaeological excavations have shown that the site has a hidden history. With evidence of prehistory, medieval vaccary, early 20th century and beyond, this site has it all. The talk looks at research and excavations undertaken on the site and discusses the evidence for occupation.
