A.G.M.

Roger Hargreaves

With a discussion of possible archaeological dig at Melandra

It was suggested that we should apply for permission to do some test-pitting on non-scheduled land - for which we'd need permission from the local council as landowner.

This may then be followed with a full archaeological dig in collaboration with Salford Archaeology, if grant applications can be successfully made.
