Then we took a tour of the mighty Caerau Hillfort, experiencing the original Cardiff with its origins deep in prehistory! 🛖

Wendy and Laura met the incredible Love our Hillfort volunteers, got hands on finds cleaning from this year's community dig, discovered pieces of Bronze Age and Roman pottery 🏺 Plus a cool little find related to the sporting heritage of Trelai Park, a mid 20th century nailed football boot stud! ⚽️

We had the perfect day for Cardiff University Vice Chancellor Wendy Larner and Chancellor Laura Trevelyan to visit our CAER Centre yesterday, and not just because of the glorious autumn weather! ☀️

Very excited to say that we’ll be digging again in Trelai Park for 4 weeks (9th June to 4th July) at the amazing Bronze Age settlement and need your help!🪏🛖

To volunteer, please email CAERHeritage@aceplace.org .

Booking is essential & places are limited!
