Recent projects:

Our team has been involved in a range of fascinating projects across the UK, helping to uncover and protect centuries of history.

Lancaster Castle
We’ve been supporting conservation and redevelopment at one of the North West’s most iconic heritage sites. Our archaeological work and building surveys have helped uncover and record layers of history - from medieval structures to a rediscovered early 20th-century execution pit.

Castlefield House

What began as a watching brief during works at Castlefield House quickly turned into something extraordinary when the team uncovered some of the best-preserved Roman remains found in Manchester in decades.

Bristol City Centre
Archaeological investigations revealed layers of urban development from the late medieval to post-medieval periods, including evidence of a monastic burial ground and later domestic buildings. Finds such as wig curlers, porcelain, and fine glassware shed light on centuries of daily life.

Prestwich Fire Station
Our excavation and drone surveys uncovered key elements of the site’s history, culminating in a public open day attended by over 100 local residents. The project reflects our commitment to community engagement and making heritage accessible.

Our passion for cultural heritage is balanced with a strong sense of commercial awareness and pragmatism, delivering effective advice and counsel to our clients. Reach out to one of the team if you’d like to know more about how we can support your project.
