Hawksley Hill Days 1 and 2 - Gavin's blog


Gavin Robinson is a Snr Project Officer with NAA with over 20 years field experience; he also has a special interest in prehistoric archaeology.

Day 1 Friday 23rd October


The first day after a week of preliminary evaluation of the potential for the site went well with the volunteers clearing a good area of turf around the cup and ring marked panels. The weather was good, spirits were high.

A word from our sponsors... David Mason, with both his AASDN and Principal DCC archaeologists hats on, visits the site on Friday.
Saturday 24th October

On the second day, the weather was foul in the morning and we decided to spend the time searching the headland on which the cup and ring mark panels were located for additional archaeological remains. Further possible cup and ring-marked stones were located as well as evidence of later period of occupation including terracing, boundary banks and quarries. In the afternoon, the skies cleared and we continued de-turfing.
