Hello all Friends of Oakhill. I am working with Glen Widdowson to set up a free, guided heritage walk which will look at the history and archeology of the Oakhill site.

The date is yet to be finalised but would likely be on a Friday in July. The walk would be conducted by former Dr Jon Kenny, a very knowledgeable and experienced community archaeologist.

.If there is sufficient interest, this could lead to a series of Day schools or evening classes and the chance to take part in an excavation on the site.

If you would be interested in either the heritage walk or classes, please drop me a line at jthompson@wea.org.uk
