VISIT TO SKIPSEA CASTLE EXCAVATIONS - TUESDAY 27 MAY 2025

The team from York University have kindly invited ERAS members to visit the current excavations at Skipsea Castle. We are very much looking forward to finding out how things have progressed since our visit last year where we were shown around the exciting discovery of a huge medieval timber hall on land very close to the castle site and had the excavations explained in detail by the site directors Drs Jim Leary and Elaine Jamieson.
The visit will take place on Tuesday 27 May at 3pm meeting in Skipsea Village hall car park. There is no need to book.
Please wear suitable footwear.
