CAER ALYN ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROJECT - Wrexham
SUMMER DIG 2010
DATES: 7th August – 21st August 2010
Join the Caer Alyn team in excavating a potential prehistoric enclosure at the southern entrance to the Bryn Alyn hillfort
In 2008, Dr Meggen Gondek, University of Chester, completed a geophysical survey of the interior of the hillfort and an area just outside the southern entrance to the Bryn Hill fort, the results of which indicated that there are possible features in both areas. The objective of the 2010 season is to determine the location, survival, condition, function and date of any structures in the southern enclosure of the hillfort. The results of this excavation will provide the project with new information of the site, building on our previous investigations into the landscape of Caer Alyn.
