Thank you to everyone who 'got grubby' with us and @TheDigVenturers as part of our #BigGardenDig this weekend! Down in wonderful Whitson on the glorious #GwentLevels we uncovered old bones, old bottles, old china, old chompers and (not just any) old iron! #DiscoverOldGwentLevels pic.twitter.com/2RDyWGpIYp

Not just pigs – but pottery too! Our most exciting find at Whitson came as soon as the turf rolled back – a bone, a dry bone…Day 2 dawning on our #BigGardenDig with @TheDigVenturers so what treasures might we uncover on the glorious #GwentLevels today? pic.twitter.com/UvPksjhkVp

Fab first day of our #BigGardeDig with @TheDigVenturers. Down in sunny Whitson on the #GwentLevels we found this impressive incisor! Sabre-toothed water Vole anyone? More likely a pig but #Archaeology and #history has never been so much fun at home! pic.twitter.com/cZxz9012WO

Heritage on the Horizons

The Gwent Levels are filled with traces of people who lived here hundreds of years ago. From medieval homes and Iron Age hillforts, to Roman camps and giant castles, there is plenty to see – if you know where to look!

We’re heading off on three unique excursions to explore the old ruins and historic buildings hidden just of the beaten path on the Gwent Levels.

Anything we find will be recorded on our crowdsourced online map, so that other walkers can discover them too!

Love history? Join archaeologists starting a brand new search for historic sites on the Gwent Levels.

We’re running an outdoor workshop where archaeologists and local history-lovers work together to locate, investigate and identify historic sites on the Levels’ landscape. Together, we’re aiming to create an online map showcasing the Gwent Levels’ extraordinary history.
