We're back for our 12th season. Keep up to date with all the discoveries, brought to you by our daily bloggers.

Welcome to our 2019 season of excavation in Grosvenor Park, Chester!

Welcome to our blog and our 13th season of excavation in Grosvenor Park, Chester! 

Our second year archaeology students are raring to go and excavation starts on Thursday 2nd May continuing until Friday 31st May 2019 (excluding Bank Holidays). You might see some activity in the park from Wednesday 1st May as we start to uncover our trenches ready to continue excavation. What will we uncover this year?

The excavation is open for public viewing and students will be on hand during weekdays 9.30am to 4.30pm (except Bank Holidays and between 12.30pm - 1.30pm), to tell you about the park’s Roman and medieval archaeology. An Open Afternoon will be taking place on Wednesday 29th May, 1pm – 4.30pm, giving you the chance to see first-hand what the students have found and to learn more about the archaeology of this corner of Chester. The site will also be open to view on Sunday 2 June during Deva Triathlon 2019.

You can follow our progress on this blog as well as updates via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
