We undertook a survey of the Vallum at Heddon-on-the-Wall, held at guided walk at the Written Rock of Gelt (inspiring some fantastic poetry), launched our WallCAP blog on International Women’s Day, spent two very wet weeks digging at Corbridge Roman Town and undertook survey at Thirlwall Castle, both along Hadrian’s Wall and on Thirlwall castle itself. However, this is just a small selection of the many activities that were undertaken by WallCAP staff and volunteers last year – did you know that we also undertook training sessions in Lidar and GIS, gallery consultations and geological walks? More on these activities in future posts!

We are a three year project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, so there is much more to come in 2020 and 2021. But for now a very special thank you to the amazing volunteers who gave up their time and helped on WallCAP projects in 2019. We couldn’t do it without your help and hope to see you all again this year! Here’s to a fantastic 2020!!
