Operation Jericho was carried out over the period 1-15 September 2018. It was a project to remove the Victorian drystone wall that bisected the site so as to make the site fully visible for the first time in 200 years. The project was overseen by Al Oswald of the University of York and Professor Stewart Ainsworth of the University of Chester and found numerous items of interest buried in the wall. A full report is being undertaken by Al Oswald.
The following people and organisations (listed in no particular order) donated to the project either in money, time or goods and services and we are very grateful for their help, without which the project could not have been successfully concluded :
