Apologies, the excitement of the excavation was too much!
We meant the site is open to visitors until Wednesday 5th June.

Catch tonight's episode of Hidden Treasures of the National Trust to see our Archaeologist Martin Papworth, along with many volunteers, undertaking a search for Stourton Castle, the original house at Stourhead, Wiltshire.
Watch at 9pm on BBC Two or catch up on BBC iPlayer

Great to see how well the excavations at Killerton are progressing, and we all love a good drone shot!

We're loving this embroidery of the Uffington White Horse!

To get to the dig, follow the trail of Tudor roses or speak to staff about booking parking. Want to have a closer look? Book a space on the next talk on Thurs 30 May.

Have you ventured down to the dig yet? If not, here’s some highlights of the first few days… the team’s first find was an unfired Civil War era musket ball- not bad for Day 1! Other key finds have included a collection of pottery sherds, worked flint and chert, and a wall! (1/2)

Join the Knole #archaeology #volunteers for a walk in the park in July as part of the #FestivalofArchaeology ! Discover what the landscape can tell us about how people have used and enjoyed the parkland for thousands of years.

A day of GPR survey at Bodiam in shadow of #castles and steam #trains . Bit of weather dodging, but a great day as #NationalTrust archaeologists & volunteers from National Trust South East came together to undertake some important groundwork ahead of exciting potential plans. #watchthisspace

Today we are celebrating the Cambridge Archaeology Field Group (CAFG) who have been working on the Wimpole Estate since 1989; field-walking over 500 hectares, metal detecting over 200 hectares, and excavating 72 trenches, transforming our understanding of the Wimpole countryside

Day 4 - Walls Revealed

As the final clumps of top soil from trenches 2 and 3 cleared, features emerged.
From trench 2, rubble that could have made up a wall of the square earthwork enclosure.
From trench 3, a continuation and addition of smaller walls to the wall already found.

Day 3 - Opening up

From trench 3, we've revealed a cobbled floor and a drain, which may have belonged to a courtyard of the original house!
The key find for today has been a prehistoric flint end scrapper, which, like our other finds, can be found at our finds washing station.
