10 hrs ago
ANCIENT artefacts have been discovered by the expert archaeological firm appointed by the Vale of Glamorgan Council to carry out work as part of the construction of the new A4226.
There are plans to expand the road known locally as Five Mile Lane, which links Barry with the A48, in a £25.8 million improvement scheme.
Rubicon Heritage was selected to complete the archaeological work following a public tender process and they arrived on site in March 2017.
During the course of the dig, a wide range of significant finds were made dating back from prehistory, around 3500BC, through to the Roman period of the first to fourth centuries AD.
