Spent an amazing couple of days digging a small hole at @SheffieldCastle with @wessexarch. Discovered several small stones. I'm hooked.
Fabulous update from @wessexarch on week 6! Starting to get really interesting now as these finds in the moat tell us much more about the medieval history of the site.

Week 5 update from Wessex as they start to work on the moat in the gatehouse area. Great to hear from volunteers who have had a great time working on the industrial remains and part of the 12th century motte of the first castle.
