We are delighted to announce the release of our latest interpretation videos.
These videos have been created by Dextra Visual and are based on historical data, drone imagery & interpretation of visible remains.
All of this would not have been possible without the funding we received from the Farming in Protected Landscapes managed by the the North Pennines AONB, we are very grateful for their support.
We hope you enjoy them!
Only a short update as a follow on from the Finds Action Day we hosted at the end of May.
In summary we found:
A total of 256 finds.
Back on the 6th June, the Cumberland & Westmoreland Herald published an article on the Molehill Survey, it can be seen here.

UPDATE 28th May 2023
The event was held as planned yesterday (27th May 2023). Many thanks to all the volunteers for all your help! As Jan states, we’re now into Phase 2 of the project, and here is Jan describing what the day was all about.
Following our very successful molehill survey, Epiacum Heritage are delighted to announce a ‘Finds Action Day’. Come and join us as we sort and clean the artefacts uncovered by our volunteers – and moles! 10am – 4pm on 27th May 2023.

Day five! Well it wouldn’t be right and proper if we didn’t get at least some rain during our five day survey would it? Heavy overnight rain and continued drizzle throughout the day made conditions difficult, nevertheless we moved the survey into the area of the mansio.
Similar to yesterday, there were only a few finds, but as Jan explains, that also tells us a story.
We continue to thank all the wonderful volunteers who give up their valuable time to assist us with the survey!
In addition, a huge thank you to to AONB for funding the survey!
