The 1984 season clearly reduced Jim Irvine to silent prayer. This picture was taken by Jill Hummerstone, presumably on a Thursday off. Can anyone recognise the church in the background?

Why was the Crickley Hill blog created?
Saturday, 6th July 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the start of archaeological excavations at Crickley Hill, Gloucestershire.
More than 5,000 volunteers from around the world worked on the site between 1969 and 1994 - 25 successive seasons of digging, directed throughout by Dr Philip Dixon, former Reader in Archaeology at the University of Nottingham. The Secretary to the excavation was Richard Savage. A reunion was held to mark the 40th anniversary on 3rd and 4th July 2009. Photographs of the 2009 reunion may be found here. A further reunion will be held on 5 -7 July, 2019. This blog has been created to allow the many people who worked at Crickley to find out about the reunions and to share their knowledge, expertise, and memories about Crickley Hill and Ullenwood Camp.

I didn't take it - I was only 13 at the time! It was Les (much older than me!) He says- it's somewhere on the way to The Boat (Forest of Dean?) Maybe Redbourne or Lydney. Jim or Malcolm would know...(he says)
I think it's Awre. If I remember correctly we went there on the way to the Boat on a long meandering day off.
