Join Mercian Archaeological Services CIC in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales for this week-
The beautiful village of Bainbridge was formerly the administrative centre of the medieval Forest of Wensleydale, and the magnificent Bolton Castle near Leyburn dominates the valley to the east. A Roman fort looms large over the village on the eastern side.
The site of the excavation is overlooked by a Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age Slight Univallate Hillfort. This fort occupies the high ground at the top of a steep slope on the southern side of the site.
The area is famous not only for its beautiful landscape, but also for its world-famous cheese, and as the backdrop to the television series ‘All Creatures Great and Small’.
