nice little article on the current status of the dig near Bicester

yes it's interesting to see what they find when they get 'out of town'

I hadnt looked up the origin of Bicester previously but depending on who you listen to it could mean fort of the warriors or 2 forts or possibly even fort of Beorna. 2 forts has a nice ring and could refer to the old and the new....maybe  :D
