The TillVAS Archaeology group came and visited our site today. Thanks for the visit! We’re in the last days of the 2025 #Yeavering dig and are readying for tomorrow’s Trustees meeting.

Recently got to revisit one of my favourite early medieval artefacts, the Ruthwell Cross in SW Scotland. Located today in Ruthwell Kirk, this (probable) 8th century high-cross is covered with Biblical events.

Hello all. Nice seeing familiar and new faces. Like what I am seeing so far here! For introductions I am an archaeologist that focuses on Roman and early medieval landscapes of Britain, loves public archaeology and education, and spends time doing GIS and remote sensing.
