Today is the “International Day for Monuments and Sites”, also known as #WorldHeritageDay, so it seems like an opportune moment to look at what’s happening at Sheffield Castle! I was surprised to see that so much excavation work has been done recently after a decade of inactivity

Ticket alert! We’ve released more open-days & opportunities to dig at #SheffieldCastle dig this May. Alice, who dug with us this week, said: I'm going to be able to say to people in years to come ‘I stood on those ruins, on those stones’ wessexarch.co.uk/events Sheffield City Council

More tickets available...be quick!! x.com/wessexarch/sta…
