The county council's community archaeology team, supported by local volunteers, has spent another fortnight at Kirkby Hardwick in an attempt to better understand the development of this intriguing site. Photographs of this year's excavation can be viewed on
Facebook.
Other recent projects have included a geophysical survey of Willoughby deserted medieval settlement (near Norwell) and Moor Pond Wood at Papplewick.
For more information on their work see:
One of the archaeologists, Andy Gaunt, is responsible for the
History and Archaeology of Medieval Sherwood Forest website ("a website dedicated to the archaeology and history of Medieval Sherwood Forest; its landscape and people, the dreaded forest law, Robin Hood, and Outlaws and Villains.") - well worth a visit!
