Magnus Magnusson presents a report on the fourth year of the annual Chronicle competition for amateur archaeologists. This year's finalists presented work on neolithic bog oaks and Saxon fish weirs, the rediscovery of Welsh carved slates and a study of early domestic architecture, the lost Roman defences of the Cumberland coast, and a study of an ancient landscape from the air. MAGNUS MAGNUSSON follows the judges as they scrutinise the finalists' work and finally choose the winner of this year's competition and the Chronicle crystal goblet.
