This fits with what we know about the history of the stables and the peak of activity within @BradgatePark 2/2

Post-ex of the Bradgate Park excavations is continuing. We have now received C14 dates from the horses excavated from the stables. This reveals that they are probably dated to the late 17th or early 18th century (260+/-20BP). Thanks to @LudovicLorlando 1/2

More photos from the trench tours undertaken during the open day on Saturday. I was great to share our findings with all the interested visitors.
