This long-term research project has been developed in collaboration with Tamworth Castle (Tamworth Borough Council) to identify and assess the surviving archaeological remains buried in and around the immediate landscape. Additionally, the project uses participatory archaeological research to positively engage local communities, schools, volunteers and under-served groups with their local heritage through hands-on activities and authentic archaeological investigations.
Since 2022, traditional and innovative archaeological techniques have been used to investigate Tamworth Castle and its immediate landscape, successfully locating and investigating the former Castle Mill and various auxiliary buildings buried beneath the Castle Pleasure Gardens. Additionally, visualisations of existing castle structures have been produced.
