Archaeologists have returned to Elizabeth Castle for the first time in two years.
Dav Smith from the University of York and fellow archaeologist Susan Brook will be surveying the site ahead of planned restoration works - with Jersey Heritage hoping to receive funding for phase one in the next Government Plan.
They will also continue investigations started by the University of York in 2017 to uncover more of the castle’s history.
Elizabeth Castle has an incredibly rich history covering multiple time periods and it will be fascinating to see what information these latest surveys reveal to us. We can’t bring students with us this year to carry out excavation work in the field as we have done in the past, but we’re glad to be able to return to Jersey for the first time in two years.

The Hamptonne Country Life Museum in Jersey has some new arrivals for visitors to meet and greet.
A number of lambs have been born to the flock of nine sheep which can be seen in the meadow at the Jersey Heritage site.
Wool from the sheep will be spun by Living History characters as they entertain visitors, helping to recreate what would have happened on the farm in the past.
In the last few months the fencing has been fixed enabling the sheep to return to the field.
