THE OPEN DAY

During the open day in Sept we had over 70 visitors to the project and they were able to see the on-going excavation, displays on the work that had been done by specialists, talk to volunteers about their experiences during the project and see other archaeology on the holding.

​

For many of the visitors, their visit was the first time they had been to Under Whitle, and so we were able to offer guided tours to tell them more of the history and archaeology of this seemingly quiet part of the Dove Valley.

​

​There was also the chance for visitors of all ages to try their hand at archaeology and one activity that proved very popular was pot washing!
