Welcome to Community Archaeology on the Mendip Plateau

The group, founded in 2009 is centred on Chewton Mendip in Somerset. Its purpose is to explore and research the landscape in the parishes of the Chewton area from both an archaeological and an historical viewpoint.

It is project-based with members suggesting areas for research. The activities planned include landscape analysis, earthwork survey, geophysics, test-pitting, old map study, documentary research, workshops and old buildings study.  

No previous experience is necessary. There is an opportunity for work in different sized groups or individually. There is no set meeting time, but activities are arranged around members' requirements.
