Heritage Weekend at Old Clee, Cleethorpes. Theme: Picturing the Past.

Society Dig.

Messages from the Chairman:

Hi Every Body

Just a thank you for your efforts of this year’s dig. It was successful mainly due to all your efforts.  I will, when the information is available, do an up date.

This year’s dig will commence on Saturday 15.09.2018.  Dr Steve Willis will arrive on Saturday afternoon and it is hoped to set out the trench locations.  A mechanical digger will be on site for 09.30hrs., Sunday 16.09.2018 to assist with opening up the trenches.

It is suggested, to avoid standing about on site, that if you want to join in the dig to attend from 09.30hrs on Sunday 16.09.2018 or what ever time is suitable for you.  Normal site working is from 09.30hrs – 17.00hrs, or thereabouts.

The site is located in a field directly opposite the former married quarters of RAF Binbrook.  From the Binbrook road take to the turning signposted Brookenby and Kingsmead Park.

A portoloo toilet facility will be on site.  Please bring your own refreshments, the nearest shop is in Binbrook village approx. 2 miles away.

If you require any further info please do not hesitate to contact me.  01472 236827;  07906 695 014.#

regards   David  R

The Dig near Binbrook will occur for two weeks from 15 September with our usual liaison with Prof. Steve Willis and his students from the University of Kent. The society has had a very fruitful relationship with Steve over many years and we hope this will continue. The site is getting more and more interesting with the possibility of a Roman high status building being found eventually.

 

Anyone who is interested in participating in the dig or simply wishing to see what’s going on should contact the Chairman whose details are in the Contact section of the website.

July 14

Humberston Picnic in the Paddock 2 – 6 p.m. The Society will put on a presentation as last year.

Old Clee Garden Dig House Survey

The society is keen to do a series of local digs in the gardens of private property in the Old Clee area of N E Lincs.  Members of the society will be canvassing householders for their support in this project and it is hoped that enough interest will be generated which will allow the society and the local community to have a better picture of past life in that corner of the local area. Society members will be around between 11am – 2pm with letters explaining what the society proposes to do. It is hoped that a lot of interest will be generated and support given.

Update. This was a success and, with the help of the \university of Cambridge, the society hopes to be working on this project in May and showing a group of students from a local secondary school the importance of local archaeology.

Another such dig is being planned for Healing soon so watch this space!

Field work 2016

It has been confirmed that the society will be commencing digging at Swinhope from Tuesday 20.09.2016 for approximately two weeks.  We will meet on site on Tuesday, 12.09.2016 at 10am..  If you are interested in joining us on the dig please let David have your availability dates to give us some idea of staffing levels and up dated contact details such as mobiles etc. on 01472  236827  or

07906 695 014.
