This year I am going to attempt to put into practice some of the tricks that we learnt on the Grundtvig Malta trip by using Google Blogger to keep a “live” online diary of the Summer 2010 dig. You can access it at any time by clicking on this link.

Join the Caer Alyn team in excavating a potential prehistoric enclosure at the southern entrance to the Bryn Alyn hillfort

Weekend dig 26th September 2009

Join the Caer Alyn team in excavating a potential prehistoric enclosure at the southern entrance to the Bryn Alyn hillfort.

The final few days of the student summer dig was concerned with showing the full extent of the ditch feature found within trench 18, this was achived thanks to the hard work of the students. Also, other features were observed within the southern end of the trench, some re deposited stones and gravel that may suggest the remains of a bank? and a pit which seems to cut into the re deposited gravel.

Caer Alyn Summer School The Caer Alyn story has progressed steadily and has now taken on a new and dynamic dimension.

The day started with site health and safety induction, introduction to staff and then a tour around the whole site introducting the students to all of the archaeological landscape in and around Caer Alyn. The next stage was to introduce the students to the dig area and tape out the trench to tie in with site grid and geophysical survey.
