Dear All,
The Heritage Lottery Fund (“HLF”) have kindly agreed to let us use some of the underspend from our original HLF “Warriors Through The Landscape” project budget (which operationally officially virtually finished with our Final Presentation Day (29th Sept.)).
Therefore, excitingly, we will soon be doing further multiple test pits – ( likely 1 * 1m) – (as part of the extended “Warriors” .. HLF project) – in conjunction with MERCIAN archaeologists.
This pitting will take place in the lower small field (opposite Cuckney Village Hall car park entrance) of the “Ulvers” (a private, tenanted property). Entrance to the site will only be on foot via the large wooden gate directly opposite the Village Hall Car Park).
Please park your car in the Village Hall car park.
As the small field is close to the river then it would seem an ideal site for discovering evidence of earlier settlement.
Both the tenants & the Welbeck Estates Company have also kindly given permission for these activities.
