Roman town discovered from the sky

A significant Roman town measuring 31 hectares has been found in Cambridgeshire.

The site at Great Staughton, west of Huntingdon, is on land that was going to be covered by a solar farm.

It's now been given heritage protection as a scheduled monument.

Dotty McLeod digs for more information, starting with Caroline Skinner who is the Listing Team Leader at Historic England.
