There are lots of ways you can get involved with the dig – and they don’t all involve digging!

Whether you’d like to watch from the comfort of your own armchair at home, help out in the finds room, or roll your sleeves up and get stuck into the mud on site, we can guarantee there’s something for you.

We’ll be using aerial photography to survey the castle, and we’ll use the images collected to create a 3D model of the site that will allow the public to interact with the castle from all angles online.

We’ll also see if we can find out more about how the site was used before the Norman Conquest, and collect any evidence for Anglo-Saxon, or perhaps even earlier activity.

You’ll be able to watch along, and we’ll be updating our findings live so you’ll be able to see all of our discoveries here as we make them.
