Due to the benevolence of the Wall gods, I happened to visit Vindolanda Trust this morning with an Archaeology at NCL fieldtrip, to see the newly discovered phallus! A fine example of the splitcock type from the Collins phallus typology, and Vindolanda's ?16th stone phallus carving

Did you know that you can only buy my cards in 3 places? at Crown Studio Gallery in Rothbury, in my online shop crownstudiogallery.myshopify.com OR Vindolanda Trust (though understandably Vindolanda only stocks the Hadrian's Wall themed ones!) #madeinNorthumberland

Watch the first in a series of mini video updates from the 2024 Vindolanda excavations. #Vindolanda

Thank you to our wonderful Period 1 Team at Vindolanda for the last 2 weeks. We look forward to meeting our new team of volunteers on Monday. #Vindolanda #Archaeology #HadriansWall

A golden start for our Period 2 team excavating at Magna! Well spotted finding this little Roman bead in the very muddy conditions. Follow their progress in our Dig Diary 👇 #RomanMagna

It’s been brought to my attention whilst digitising my dad’s slide collection that I’ve been visiting Vindolanda Trust for 50 years. Anyone remember the replica ballista? The red t shirt no longer fits either.

Due to demand we’ve put our fabulous umbrellas back in our online shop. They are for UK delivery only. A compact umbrella with a new bespoke design is coming later this year and will be available for worldwide dispatch! #watchthisspace

Despite the awful weather earlier in the week our Period 1 team are making excellent progress at Vindolanda. Some fabulous Roman flagstones just beneath the surface. #Vindolanda

We have had a deluge of rain today. A few parts of the site are under large pools of water but our stream level in the museum garden is slowly starting to drop, so hopefully over the worst. What a day!

If you're Vindolanda Trust today and see smoke- no need to panic, it's not revolting Picts attacking the place! It's just Graham Taylor Sarah Lord Reiverma ⭐️ and other brilliant volunteers firing the replica Roman kiln!! Follow the smoke to watch it. facebook.com/PottedApprentis

We love a rainbow! 💛❤️🩵💚💜🩷

Apparently tomorrow we have a day forecast with very little rain. That will be most welcome, even if it is going to be windy! We strongly advise staying on the paths today. #Vindolanda

Whether it's pottery, archaeology, history, technology or just smoke and fire you love- you can experience them all come together on Saturday 6th April Vindolanda Trust vindolanda.com/Event/roman-ki… #Northumberland

Happy birthday to us! 🎈Today the Vindolanda Charitable Trust is 54 years old. We’ve had a great day! #HappyBirthday

Did you spot us on BBC #countryfile tonight? You can watch it on BBC iPlayer #Vindolanda #HadriansWall #Northumberland

Excavation season resumes at Roman Magna on 1st April (no joke!). Great to see all the action in the field this week to collect important samples. #research #archaeology

Taking a moment to reflect and think about the women who lived at Vindolanda nearly 2,000 years ago and celebrate all the amazing women who work and volunteer for the Vindolanda Trust today. #internationalwomensday

We see you! 👀
Our archaeologists spotted a visitor in the stones this morning!

Very sad to read the news this morning that Dave Myers has passed away. We were fortunate to meet Dave when the Hairy Bikers were filming at Vindolanda back in 2016. A wonderful person.
