As a Community Interest Company we re-invest profits in future project development, to promote opportunities, and to offer community-based events.

Our projects aim to bring people together with, and improve understanding of, our shared heritage.

If you like what you see please sign up and come and join us via our Contact page.

We give people the chance to work alongside professional archaeologists providing a hands-on learning opportunity. Volunteers get to have a go and learn all types of Archaeological techniques from test-pitting to open area excavation.

Unlike other companies we do not make you stand and watch!

Where funding is raised we offer FREE opportunities for volunteers.

Please see our About, Staff, Testimonials, and Services pages above for more about what we do- and to see what people have said about our work.
