Over 5 months after we first discovered Sir Arthur Haselrig’s lost 1650s mansion, it’s finally been covered over!
Such a great #Archaeology dig, that’s been loved by students, staff, volunteers and visitors alike.
Now to wash my very muddy coat and do some writing up!

@NautArchSoc Maybe if it keeps raining!! I left my snorkel at home, so we’ve had to resort to the ever faithful ‘plastic scoop made from an old milk cartoon’ to get to dry archaeology!
English
Much more rain here and we’ll need to call some of our underwater archaeologists friends from @NautArchSoc when they’re in Durham for their conference in Nov - which’ll be worth checking it out. If you’re an @ArchandArch member there’s a reduced rate nauticalarchaeologysociety.org/annual-confere…

@cmgerrard1 is genuinely one of the best people I’ve ever worked with.
Hugely knowledgeable, at the top of his game professionally, but welcoming and generous with his time and expertise. Come hear his stories told with warmth, wit and wisdom (& wine🍷)!

Fairly mardy @arrivanortheast driver told me rudely to ‘fold up your pushchair’. Since I’m in no rush, I made a stand. Got off and waited for the next (very friendly) @gonortheast bus. Being as kind as you can is the hill I will get off the bus and wait another 10 minutes upon.

The site is still open for visitors with tours running through the end of August! Come pay a visit @aucklandproject before Haselrigge’s dream house disappears under the lawn!

Lovely clay pipe found by Barry, Phil and Martin at Auckland Castle today!
Stamped by Thomas Park, from demolition rubble filling an internal doorway between cellars. Our resident clay pipe expert @MAIZR4 says it’s 1662-82, so perfect for John Cousin’s destruction of the house!
