This month we welcome the University of Sheffield's own Colin Merrony for a chat about the Roman fort of Navio. Colin is a veteran archaeologist and a teaching fellow at the uni, he has done extensive work throughout the Peak District including at Navio. In this talk, Colin explains the history of the Roman presence in the Peak District including their purported lead mining. He takes us through the past and current (and future!) plans to excavate Navio.
