The Crickley Hill Excavation Archive - now online!

 Serious congratulations and thanks are due to Steve Vaughan for all his hard work in creating the The Crickley Hill Excavation Archive

"Welcome to the Crickley Hill online archive. The excavation of Crickley Hill, on the Cotswold scarp near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire was one of the largest and longest-running excavations in the UK. Running from 1969 to 1993, considerable parts of the site were excavated during the summer seasons. Work on the huge amount of resulting excavation material is still underway. The excavation, and subsequent research, are managed by the Crickley Hill Archaeological Trust.


For the first time, this website provides online access to as much as possible of the considerable excavation record. You can now see photos and browse scans of the physical excavation records, and see what lay beneath the surface at this important site. The archive is nearing complete with the addition of all the photographs and finds records."
