Hunting Hall Farm 2019

Using the outcome of the geophysical survey of 2018 as a guide we selected two areas of grassland within the area enclosed by the Iron Age ditch system.
Trenches 3 and 4 were exposed roughly at right angles to each other in June 2019. Each trench appeared to cover numerous areas of human activity. We weren't wrong!

Geophysical Survey: 2018-With the help of the charity Bernician Studies Group a small number of our group were trained to use the surveying technology and over a period of two weeks succeeded in mapping the whole of the area of interest.
Dig Diary June and July 2019- At the end of each session the events of of the day were recorded in a dig diary. We were fortunate to have several visitors join us together with other professional archaeologists interested in our progress. Read the diary here
Dig June, July 2019-Using the results of the geophysical survey our amateur group, under the guidance of profeesional archaeologist, Kristian Pedersen of Edinburgh University, opened two trenches over what were perceived as areas likely to be of major interest. Here is the summary report.
Summary report 2019: A brief, non-technical summary
Dig 2019: Summary of results: On this page you will find a compilation of photos, maps and drawings that outline the outcome of our dig in 2019
Visitor information- Other than the obvious prehistoric ring ditches there is little to see at the digsite because the ground has been rapidly reclaimed by nature. An information board has been placed to give visitors a brief insight into life as it was more than 2000 years ago. This link provides further information.
