Aberdeen University student Jonny McChesney digging deep at Wogan Cavern! Wogan is a unique site, a potentially-unparalleled sequence of British Late Pleistocene and early Holocene Archaeology. And maybe a few other secrets too! 🤐

@mesodeeside Thanks everyone who took part in the test pitting we got it all finished today. Results will be a few weeks but we hope @GeoTimKinnaird and Richard will get some interesting results. Bottom spit today 2 or 3 Mesolithic blades @diggermann17 @DigItScotland

[Wogan Cavern @WoganCavern]

This site is just too exciting to stay away from.... We're back @WoganCavern for an extra (2-week) 2023 field season!

Excavations are now up and running as we continue to investigate the extent and distribution of the undisturbed #Palaeolithic and #Mesolithic archaeology.

Navan Fort is one of our most significant historical sites. For decades archaeologists have been trying to uncover its secrets and this month a fresh dig has taken place that hopes to uncover the type of buildings that were there and what they were used for.

[James O'Driscoll @JODarchaeology]

Some of our large postholes at Navan Fort have burnt wooden post pipes, giving us great dating material to produce a chronology for the enclosures they form…expertly dug by @JonnyMcChesney and prof Mallory! @papgleeson @loveheritageNI @abcb_council @CommunitiesNI

[Patrick Gleeson @papgleeson]

And we are off! 2nd phase of excavations in Navan Fort with @JODarchaeology. We have 4 trenches planned in the iconic enclosure. All desodded, fenced and ready for some archaeology tomorrow! Thanks to colleagues @loveheritageNI @CommunitiesNI and @abcb_council Watch this space!

[Wogan Cavern @WoganCavern]

That's a wrap! (For now...)

We've had a great few days filming with @ancientstristan and the team @HistoryHit

If you're interested in Wales, cave #archaeology and/or early #prehistory watch this space for the forthcoming episode all about @WoganCavern

Right folks, we don't often ask for a favour on here, but we need your help!! We are trying to raise the funds for the conservation and display of the new Aberlemno stone. If everyone who follows our feed gave a couple of pounds each we'd smash our target
