Unearthing Glasgow's Ancient Earthwork | Glasgow News

Archaeologists are launching a major dig at Queen’s Park in Glasgow this month to unravel the mystery of the 100-meter Camphill Earthwork—a site whose age and purpose have baffled experts for centuries. From Neolithic ritual ground to Iron Age fortress, theories abound, and the team is split on whether it predates the Romans or stretches back even deeper into prehistory. Despite its weathered state, the earthwork remains a vibrant community hub, with locals gathering around Victorian-era boulders. This excavation is part of a larger Clyde Valley project—and the public is invited to join in, with free open days and hands-on activities from August 24 to September 4. The organizers hope digging together will forge new connections across Glasgow’s diverse neighborhoods. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
