DR CHRIS Smart, from the University of Exeter, will be talking about a recent community dig at an Iron Age site in Calstock next week at the Tamar Valley Centre, Drakewalls.

The Great Excavations Talk, which includes information about previous excavations at the Roman Fort in Calstock, will take place on April 12 at 7.30pm and is just one of 30 events for the public to enjoy as part of this year's Spring Trail Festival.

Following the talk there will be an opportunity to handle and learn about some of the artefacts uncovered in the parish.
