In the summer of 2023 we flew a drone over a field next to Hartlebury Castle, Worcestershire, which was garrisoned in the English Civil War in the 17th century. How the site was defended at this time was entirely unkown. A crop mark very indicative of a former Civil War bastion was present during the drone flight, and in the last week of July 2023 we will be excavating a trench across the feature in order to test it. This is entirely a community project, though run by a proffesional archaeologist on a voluntary basis.
