Park with grass dug up

About

The dig from previous years continues, unearthing more of Prior Park's watery past (and present) in the pasture, around the site of the Bason. Chat to volunteers about their findings.

The dig will take place in the first week, but the site will remain uncovered the full two weeks to allow visitors a chance to see it for themselves.

As part of the Festival of Archaeology at Prior Park, visitors can join a guided walk from the lead archaeologist behind recent digs at Prior Park. Spaces are limited so booking is essential.
