Big dig
THE Habitats and Hillforts project
has been staging a four week
archaeological dig at Eddisbury
Hill Iron Age Hillfort.
The intention is to re-excavate
trenches through the ramparts and one of the entrances that were originally opened up
between 1936 and 1938 in order to expose the sections and recover charcoal samples for
radiocarbon dating.
Project officer Dan Garner said: “The work so far has revealed spectacular preservation,
with the stone flanking walls of the entrance still standing to approximately 1.5m in height.
“They have started to uncover parts of two stone built ‘guard chambers’ on the interior of the
entrance and the sockets that would have originally contained the timber gate posts.

Darnhall day was a big success
THE recent Darnhall Village Day was judged a big
success with over 300 visitors.
Highlight of the Day was undoubtedly the first
Miss Darnhall competition which drew the largest
crowd and much applause for all the contestants.
Winner of the Darnhall Princess sash and tiara
for ages 4 to 7 was Izzy Kay, while the winner of
the Darnhall Queen honours for ages 8 to 11 was
Danielle Wallis.
The day raised over £1000 towards the cost of
providing parking spaces at the hall.
