My mind is full of archaeology at the moment - I'm having such fun on the Cusop Castle Dig.
There will be an open session on site on Wednesday 10th June, from 4.15pm to 5pm, where anyone can turn up to find out what the progress is so far from Tim Hoverd, who is in charge of the dig. There is parking at the church (which would appreciate a small donation), and no dogs are allowed on site.
And for those who have caught the digging bug, there will be another local dig in August.
Dorstone has been the scene of quite amazing archaeology around Arthur's Stone for years now, but the digging has been done by professionals and students. This year, from 1st to 9th August, to discover more about the medieval origins of Dorstone, in various sites around the village. Like Cusop, this will be a community dig, with all welcome - youngest participants must be 12+ and accompanied by an adult. Tickets for the sessions (free) can be booked through Eventbrite - you can't just turn up - under dorstone-dig-a-medieval-mystery. There will be a pre-dig talk in Dorstone Village Hall on Wednesday 17th June at 6pm.
