Community archaeology project

The ongoing archaeological work at Friarsgate has been gaining significant community interest, with nearly 60 people attending the Open Day on 3 August.

The Summer Community excavation, being conducted by Winchester-based Pre-Construct Archaeology, will continue throughout August and offers a unique opportunity for volunteers to get hands-on with uncovering Winchester’s rich history. This follows last year’s early-stage archaeological evaluations behind the bus station and next to Coitbury House, which unveiled fascinating insights into the city’s past.

It’s not too late to volunteer, please visit PCA’s website to sign up.
