Most of Howard’s field notes and reports are directly as a result of discovery and analysis when on the ground in fields or back gardens (with permission and / or invitation) locating many diverse and interesting artefacts. Some of these are held in Taunton Museum and a few are held within the MDA.

The following images provide a challenging view of Milverton as a potential hillfort with motte and bailey with placement of specific periods of historical significance based on archaeological finds, their interpretation and the necessary analogue desk top research. From the original tracings it is strongly suggested amongst many things, a revised location of the long-lost chantry perceived as being NW of the main church but perhaps outside the existing graveyard boundary’s perimeter; possible tunnels, mysterious structures and likely ridge paths now covered by housing developments.

If you are interested in learning more about this and many other facets of Milverton’s past or, as importantly, wish to contribute or add your knowledge and experience to create a bigger, more fact-certain picture of this and other villages then make contact and tell us what you know. We welcome helpful comments contact us below, we will endeavour to answer questions on archive content and arrange for visits to see what we hold.
