In 1963 a small-scale archaeological excavation took place on the site of HMP Erlestoke in Wiltshire when it was a different institution. During this dig items were found dating back to the Bronze Age, suggesting there was more to uncover.
Sixty years on from that dig, a group of prisoners and Wessex Archaeology specialists have been working together to discover more, setting out on a full archaeological excavation together with incredible results. Join Leigh Chalmers, Heritage Inclusion Manager and Dr Phil Harding, Archaeologist, from Wessex Archaeology to hear more about the project, the archaeology found and the impact taking part in the project has had on the men.
