Work has been progressing well at #LCE24!

Both the ring ditch and the barrow ditch are being cleaned up and further explore by the hardworking volunteers…

The Society officially has its own branded van! The van allows the Society to bring equipment to site increasing the amount of tools we can use for volunteers, school visits, etc. It also saves us needing to hire expensive vans every season. Hopefully the new stickers will increase awareness of the county as we travel to sites, school visits and exhibitions.

For #FindsFriday I thought I would give a sneak peak of what happens after objects are excavated by the society!
