Tim has also acted as an archaeological consultant to the British Council and Governmental agencies in Sri Lanka involved with World Heritage sites.
Tim is Chair of the Federation of Archaeological Managers and Employers, the body representing archaeological employers in the UK. He is also a full Member of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (MCIfA) and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London. He is also an active member of several learned societies, including the Prehistoric Society and the Shropshire Archaeological and Historical Society.
Old Oswestry is considered to be one of England's most precious archaeological jewels, described by Sir Cyril Fox in the 1930s as 'the outstanding work of the Early Iron Age type on the Marches of Wales', and its design is unique amongst hillforts in the UK. Located on the edge of the Shropshire Plain and just a kilometre north of the market town of Oswestry, the hillfort (and its hinterland landscape) can trace activity through artefactual evidence back at least 5000 years, with the last 3000 years evident as earthworks.
