Archaeologists excavating the Newport Ship

Early Boats and Ships in South Wales. Since the 1980s the Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust has been involved with the excavation of five wooden vessels of different periods. The careful excavation of the vessels has shown not only how they were made but also what goods they carried and how far they could travel.

Cardiff Castle Excavation

Cardiff Castle. Excavations where carried out at the site of the new visitor centre at Cardiff Castle for Cardiff City Council. Cardiff Castle is not only an important Norman castle, in use throughout the middle ages and later, but it was also the site of four successive Roman forts, all differing slightly in size and shape.
