Hello there and welcome to the home of the Lost City Of Trellech.
Thank you for all those who came to help dig on the Easter weekend. We will be digging again this weekend (Saturday 14th April - Sunday 15th April 2007). We will be aiming to continue on most weekends, weather permitting. Excavations will start at 10am and work into the early evening.
Volunteers are always welcome. If you wish to volunteer, please contact me using the details on the "Contact Me" page which can be found here.
The site can be found at Ordinance Survey grid reference SO 5020 0500.
Thank you very much to everyone who kindly donated their time to come dig over the last 4 weeks. Much has been uncovered and we will soon be adding pictures and analysis of many of our new finds.
We have uncovered parts of 2 courtyards, a well which is over 5.2 metres deep, a mediaeval fireplace and a large round tower over 5 metres across. This is all contained within a large Manor House that has a double entrance way into it. Most of the structures are made from stone and the entire building covers an area in excess of 225 square metres, with stone and glazed roof tiles. This Manor House would have been one of the principal buildings in the city of Trellech.
