Another Successful Community Dig

Our Festival of Archaeology dig at Albrighton today attracted many visitors with lots of enthusiasm for learning more about their local history and many interesting questions.

The fine weather meant we had around two dozen people around the test pit at most times of day, with adults and children taking part and making discoveries for themselves.

Find of the day was an early Georgian halfpenny and the most interesting feature was a man-made yellow sandstone surface although what purpose it served we cannot say for certain.
