South Cadbury Environs Project
Welcome to Britain’s most innovative
archaeological landscape survey project!

Last updated: 1st July 2009

This website serves as an introduction to the South Cadbury Environs Project, an archaeological landscape survey around Cadbury Castle hillfort, Somerset.

 

Since 1992 the project has accumulated a huge amount of information about the landscape which until now has only appeared piecemeal as article in local and international journals and interim reports. This website can guide to the appropriate publications and also to the first overview of the project, due to appear in August 2008.

 

Since its inception the project has relied heavily on volunteer labour, in the process acquiring an excellent reputation as a training ground for under- and post-graduate students as well as keen amateurs.

 

The the Project’s fieldwork is now at an end but many of its volunteers are applying their skills in a wider area as the South Somerset Archaeological Research Group, directed by Clare Randall, a former research assistant to SCEP.
