Join the Caer Alyn team in excavating potential prehistoric enclosures at Bryn Alyn hillfort
In 2008, Dr Meggen Gondek, University of Chester, completed a geophysical survey of the interior of the hillfort and an area just outside the southern entrance to the Bryn Hill fort, the results of which indicated that there are possible features in both areas. The objective of the 2011 season is to determine the location, survival, condition, function and date of any structures in the southern and northern enclosures of the hillfort. The results of this excavation will provide the project with new information of the site, building on our previous investigations into the landscape of Caer Alyn.
