A two-week long archaeological dig to discover more about Lancaster's past is underway. The new excavation will partly re-open trenches dug in the late 1920s and early 1970s, but will also investigate undisturbed ground to test emerging theories relating to Lancaster’s Late Roman Shore Fort. The dig is part of the Beyond the Castle project, which is supported by Heritage Lottery Fund and led by Lancaster City Council and Lancashire County Council.
