In 2017, under the expert guidance of Keith Fitzpatrick Matthews of North Herts Museum, we began a series of archaeological test pits in areas around Walkern to try to make sense of how the village developed over the past 2000+ years. We are very grateful to residents who allowed us to invade their gardens, and to all who helped dig test pits, wash finds and record artefacts.
If you would like to become involved in our 2025 digs, please do contact us – there is something for everyone
