Coquetdale Community Archaeology |
Coquetdale Community Archaeology is a group which links local people to local archaeology. With over 100 members, residents of Coquetdale and neighbouring communities get involved in exploring and investigating the hidden history of their homes, villages, and the local landscape.
We offer activities that range from programmes of winter talks through practical work like fieldwalking, surveying or recording monuments that range from hillforts to 20th century pillboxes.
Join us in building a unique perspective on the thousands of years of Coquetdale history. No previous experience of archaeology is necessary – all you need is an interest in the past and enthusiasm to have a go. You can download a membership form here or visit here to contact a committee member.NEWS
