Week One – Breaking Ground at Castilly
“What was once a rarely trodden landscape, the field in which Castilly Henge lies, was now busy with volunteers and archaeologists digging, sieving, and surveying.”
Week Two – Connecting Communities to the Past at Castilly
“The engagement work isn’t a separate project; it’s an extension of the excavation itself, designed to bring the dig into the heart of local communities.”
Week Three – Hands-on History at Castilly
“The Castilly Henge dig has been progressing steadily, and it’s not just the archaeology that’s making an impact. Alongside careful excavation, the site has become a lively space for education and engagement.”
Week Four – The Last Leg of the Excavation
“With the excavation process racing to its conclusion, the team at Castilly has made significant strides towards having the site ready for dating…
With students being guided around the site and the preparations for dating well underway, the site has been a hive of activity in this, the final week of excavating before backfilling. With over 300 schoolchildren having visited and witnessed an archaeological excavation, and many volunteers having taken part, this project has been invaluable in engaging local communities with their history.”
