This challenging archaeological project at Carwynnen Quoit kicked off to a fine and successful start in early July. Over 5 days the team opened up a number of small test pits in the area immediately around the stones as well as along the terrace, upon which, this now ruined ancient monument, sits.

These pits have provided keyholes which have allowed us to see what may survive below the grass around the site. All this information was fed into the plans for the larger dig in Autumn 2012. As this is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, the work required special consent from English Heritage, granted to The Sustainable Trust earlier this year.
