Chas Jones who kindly showed some us around  the 1066 battlefield site of Fulford last September has been in touch to let Medieval Section members know that he is doing some more digging at Fulford in July as a part of the CBA Festival of Archaeology. Last year a trial trench was dug and Chas talked about the results of that excavation when we did the walk last September. He has kindly invited Medieval Section volunteers to go and do some digging. The site has been in the news recently, and Chas told me that his day in court went very well but they are waiting, he said, for the judgement. Chas believes there is hope for the future. He tells me the trees along the whole of the ditch (see photo above) have been cleared so there is a great view of the battle site now! There is a web page saying how to sign up.
