About our group

Tynedale North of the Wall Archaeology Group consists of volunteers actively engaging in the archaeology of their local area.

Our aim is to correct the imbalance that has reduced over 4,000 years of human activity to just 300 years of Roman occupation, by exploring and recording the archaeology of our local landscape and publicising the full story of the area's history.

Our Location

Hexham, Northumberland.

Beyond the Wall

Since 2013 our group has been conducting and reporting on a number of archaeological surveys at locations a few miles north of Hadrian's Wall. In April 2016 we secured support from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Northumberland National Park Authority for a 12 month project training and engaging local volunteers in archaeological fieldwork surveys and desk research into the history of human activity in an area north of Cawfields Gap. Over the coming months this blog will be focusing on the activities of volunteers involved in the project and the archaeology we discover. If this grabs your interest and you would like to join in please email us.
