The Fellfoot Forward scheme’s Uncovering the Past programme continues with in-the-field activities at some of the North Pennines’ most enigmatic sites. Join us and DigVentures for a day of discovery as we explore a medieval moated site in Kirkoswald using a range of survey and remote sensing methods.

As a group, you will be taught key archaeological skills in landscape survey by DigVentures’ professional archaeologists at a site close to Kirkoswald Castle and St Oswald’s Church, about which very little is known. In this session we will:
– Introduce the site and its possible role within the medieval village
– Conduct a geophysical survey of the earthworks associated with the site
– Conduct a topographic survey to record the detail of the monument

All tools and equipment will be provided for the surveys. Bring your own packed lunch.

No experience necessary, we will teach you everything you need to know. You must be 18 years and over. All you need is a good pair of boots, waterproofs, and a level of fitness to spend the day outdoors on your feet in the landscape.
