Berkeley Field School

Every May and June, our students spend four weeks at Berkeley Castle to continue excavations at the Berkelely Field School dig. Each year, the trenches go deeper and further as students excavate parts of the Norman house in the dig site, the Roman cart tracks in the paddock and a mystery building which researchers suggest might be the remains of a tudor cabin, as well as other areas of the site.

Our students use lots of social media channels to update their progress throughout the dig:

They also keep a blog and you can find more in-depth reports on their experiences there.
