About this event

This is a fantastic opportunity to get involved in some hands-on history, exploring what lies hidden beneath our feet. Fieldwalking involves the systematic collection of artefacts found on the surface of a field; the objects collected can give us a hint as to what archaeology might be in the area. You do not need to have any previous experience, just an interest in archaeology and history.

This fieldwalking training session takes part over one day on Tuesday 25th October 2022.

Booking fee of £5 per person applies. Suitable for ages 12+, under 18 must be accompanied by a paying adult.
