The two week community excavation at Weald County Park has come to an end. Here one of the volunteers, Alice, talks about her experience. The aim of the excavation was to give volunteers a chance to try out being an archaeologist for a week, whilst searching for the lost Weald Hall.
Thanks to everyone that made this exciting excavation possible, Oxford Archaeology, Lower Thames Crossing, Explore Essex. And to our very own Maria Medlycott and Katie Lee-Smith.
The excavation was funded by the Lower Thames Community Fund, facilitated by Place Services and supervised by Oxford Archaeology.
