IHBC North Branch: Practical Archaeology and the Planning Process
Uncovering Roman Carlisle – Summer Dig 2025
Uncovering Roman Carlisle is an ongoing community archaeology project, exploring and exhibiting Carlisle’s Roman Bathhouse.
Proposals for a new pavilion at Carlisle Cricket Club in 2017, sparked of a planning requirement for a site evaluation by archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong LLP. They unearthed a Roman bathhouse, now the largest known building on Hadrian’s Wall. This major discovery sparked a large-scale community archaeological investigation resulting in numerous significant finds. Returning to the site every year since 2021, the partnership of Carlisle Cricket Club, Cumberland Council, Tullie, and Wardell Armstrong LLP has brought hundreds of volunteers, The Diggers, to further explore the site, and to exhibit the discoveries to the world.
