Farewell to the ‘Plateau’

We are now in the process of backfilling the second building and simultaneously we will be cleaning the excavation of building three followed by recording, photographing and
then backfilling.

This will bring an end to over three and a half years of excavations on the Plateau site.

Once this is completed we will move on to an exciting new site in the east of the park, of more anon……

We are on site most Thursdays and Fridays so do come and say hello or better still join us for a day. Please send us an email first to make sure we are on site as occasionally we work away.

On Friday, 8th August, as part of Shorne Woods Family Fun Day, SWAG will be holding workshops for you to try your hand (literally) at Prehistoric cave art, sand pit excavation (tools provided) and dousing for beginners.

Have you found anything old? Bring it along and we’ll try to ID it for you.
