On Thursday the 12th of May 2011 a group of sixteen Wye Valley volunteers accompanied by the AONB team joined forces with Herefordshire archaeology to take part in a dig on the Iron Age Hillfort site at Little Doward.
The group walked onto the site from the Great Doward passing King Arthur's cave on their way to the summit of the Hillfort. Neil Rimmington from Herefordshire archaeology explained the significance of the site and how recent excavations have informing their current understanding.
Once at the top the group split into three separate task groups. Controlling vegetation on the ramparts and taking part in the dig.
The group managed to knock back a large area of bracken growth from the site and will return in June to continue the good work.
