PROVISIONAL FIELDWORK PROGRAMME 2014


OCTOBER
18-26th October. LONG MEG STONE CIRCLE.
Following our comprehensive topographic and geophysical survey project last year, we intend to
return to Long Meg to undertake a small-scale excavation in partnership with Durham University.
This has been programmed for autumn as the cattle that graze the site during the summer will be
back indoors from mid-October. This enigmatic and exceptionally important scheduled ancient
monument has never previously been excavated; the proposed AA project has the potential to tell
us much about Neolithic life not just in this part of the Eden Valley, but throughout northern
England. Potentially one of the most exciting tasks yet attempted by the AA project!
