The 2024 Digging Season

We will be continuing our excavation of Kildale’s 13th Century Chapel of St Hilda on Wednesdays and Sundays, weather permitting, 10:30 am – 4 pm, starting on Wednesday 24th April and continuing until about the end of September. Anyone who wants to experience digging on an archaeological site can join us for a day free of charge. Training is given on site, and equipment provided. No previous experience is necessary. If you would like to join us please email hvcpchairperson@gmail.com so we can give you directions to the site. We hope you will enjoy your day and will want to come on a regular basis. If you do you and you are new to archaeology you may find useful the post What you need for digging.

If you would like to continue for more days we ask for a membership fee of £10 per annum which helps cover site insurance and other costs of running the project.
