Big thanks to @BMArchaeology for the guided tour around the engine house compound. Truly amazing discoveries on the site: images show furnaces, flues leading to the chimney & rail track route. We had no idea quite how many remains we have been walking over these past few years!

The publicly accessible @ADS_Update data about @NewportShip @FONSNewportship has so much research potential for researchers in Wales, U.K. + across the world to collaborate on. Plenty of funding opportunities through @COSTprogramme @ahrcpress @_UKRO_ @BritishAcademy_ @UKRI_News – at Swindon, England
The Newport ship, a 15th-century vessel recovered from South Wales, is due to go on display soon after the salvaged timbers have been restored bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-6415…

Our latest discovery from #Tintern Abbey, a tile of Richard, Earl of Cornwall, King of the Romans (b.1209-d.1272). Henry III, Richard’s brother, gave him Cornwall in 1225 as a 16th birthday present, and was elected King of Germany in 1257. @BMArchaeology @cadwwales @cadwcymru

This beautiful tile was discovered during archaeological investigations at Tintern Abbey, part of a wider conservation project on the great gothic church.
Black Mountains Archaeology are busy investigating what secrets lie beneath the top layer of soil.

Was it only three years ago that we were carrying out a photogrammetric survey of the Outer Curtain Wall, Dovecote and South Towers at the stunning #UskCastle?! Still one of our favourite castles! How time flies @ArchaeoDomus! #medieval #castles #gwent – at Wales, United Kingdom

We’ve found lots of coins during our investigations at Tintern Abbey, most from the C18th and C19th but at least one medieval, including Henry III (1216-72) to George III (1760-1820), through to the Victorian and Edwardian Periods. @cadwcymru @ArchaeoDomus #medieval #archaeology

Check out our Timelapse of turf and topsoil stripping inside the Abbey Church at Tintern Abbey. Can you spot the abbey chickens…?! They were very interested in the process! 😀🐓@cadwwales @ArchaeoDomus #medieval #archaeology
