Eric Gardner, Ed and Ailsa Smith completed the Certificate of Field Archaeology in 2016. They started volunteering with the Clyde and Avon Valley Landscape Partnership (CAVLP) in 2016 and on Murray Cook’s digs from 2017.

Summary
This talk will describe our survey work and digs at the Avon Gorge promontory site in Chatelherault Country Park in South Lanarkshire. The site was discovered by Eric Gardner and Ed Smith in 2016 when conducting a field survey of Chatelherault during the Clyde and Avon Valley Landscape Partnership (CAVLP) project. The digs were undertaken by members of Clutha Archaeology Group under the direction of Andy Jepson of Archaeology Scotland. We plan to explore more of these promontory sites in Lanarkshire in the future.
