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.

LECTURE UPDATE
So we have sadly come to the end of a very varied and interesting lecture season. The AGM began with a minutes silence to reflect on the loss of Dr Terry Manby who has contributed so much to East Yorkshire's archaeological record and will be sadly missed. The AGM was followed by Dr Peter Halkon's presentation on 40 Years of Research on the Prehistoric and Roman Landscapes of the Foulness Valley - which we now confirm is now actually 45 years of research! Thank you to Peter for stepping in at very short notice, and for arranging our fantastic lecture programme. More to come from September!
You can follow our progress again at Petuaria ReVisited later in the summer and we will of course, still be running our Field Studies Programme throughout the summer. Our next Field Studies will see Matt Walker running a flint workshop on Wednesday 7 May at 7.30 pm at our usual venue in St Nicholas Church Parish Rooms on Holmechurch Lane, Beverley.
