Autumn Dig - Medstead - 5th to 27th September 2026
Following an interesting dig in 2025 which both surprised and intrigued us we will be returning to this site in September.
Set up days - 3rd and 4th Sept. Take down - 28th Sept. Rest days - Sun 13th and Sun 20th Sept.
This dig is also for members only. Training will be provided for new members.
Booking is open, the link will be sent to all members via email.
Geophysics surveys, throughout the year
The Fieldwork Committee has a list of potential sites that we have been asked to scan, using our non-destructive geophysics techniques - resistivity and magnetometry. These events often have to be arranged at short notice, depending on the landowners, weather forecasts and the condition of the ground being surveyed.
Requests for volunteers to help with scans will usually be circulated by email to members.
Ludshott Common survey, winter months
Liss Archaeology is recording archaeological features on the common on behalf of the National Trust. Over the winter a small group heads out to find, measure and draw features. Their condition is noted and handheld GPS devices are used to record the location. This helps the National Trust when they are doing any clearance or maintenance work and to increase their awareness of the archaeology. The sessions are often arranged at short notice.
Members can get involved by emailing Liss Archaeology and asking to be added to the WhatsApp group.
Closed - Petersfield Big Dig July 2026
This dig has finished for this year.
