Fancy having a go at hands-on archaeology? There is a great opportunity over the weekend of 20-21 April. Volunteers are needed to help dig test pits in the village of Shenton and explore its medieval history. You don't need to have any previous experience and its great fun!

We are delighted to announce the release of our latest publication. The Anglo-Saxon Settlement at Eye Kettleby, Leicestershire, is available now at Shop@le (shorturl.at/pCERZ) in printed and digital formats.

One of ULAS’s first major excavations was a large multi-period site at Eye Kettleby near Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire. Our latest blog looks back at the significant prehistoric discoveries from the site.
