The team have finished shutting down #CamphillDig2026 and we’ve reinstated the earthwork’s ramparts. One final cool find, a probable Bronze Age worked flint near the base of the 1.5m deep ditch. Nice! Thanks to everyone who helped on the dig & visited us. Season 2 anyone?

Went to lend a hand at #CamphillDig26 today. While the team have yet to determine if the site's residents were Iron Age, Roman or Mediaeval, we now at least know that they were regular users of Glasgow's tram network. Congrats to fellow #SGHET volunteer Dougie for finding it in our pit.

Two (very likely) Neolithic axe fragments from the #CamphillDig26 site found in the past 24 hours. Nothing like this has been found in Glasgow for well over a century!

I spent an interesting hour or so today at the open day at the Camphill Earthworks dig in Queen's Park on the southside of Glasgow. The open day is still on until 3pm if you want to check it out for yourself. #glasgow #archaeology #glasgowtocday #queenspark #glasgowwhistory

Out digging at the Camphill earthwork with @urbanprehistorian.bsky.social and Kieran Manchip @archscot.bsky.social and students and volunteers. This site has everything from prehistory and post-medieval farming to rich contemporary archaeology (campfires, arboglyphs, graffiti, and witchy rituals)!

Those who know Glasgow’s Queen’s Park & Camphill well may recognise this excavation target, an improvised fire pit in a circle of boulders. Amazingly in this area we’ve found a possible posthole, a cobbled surface and - something potentially Neolithic! #CamphillDig26

Nothing prehistoric yet at #CamphillDig26 but here’s a Bakelite Glasgow tram token from at least 70 years ago. It was found in a test pit near where excavations last happened on the site 75 years ago. Was it dropped by a digger? 😉

Another #Strathbungo #househistory. This time we're at the former 25 Princes Square, better known now as 55 Marywood Square. The first resident was Robert Murdoch, a mason who built Cragie St police & fire station, and the next Robert More, a maker & retailer of fine silk gowns on Buchanan Street.

Blond sandstone end terrace house with bay windows, and a wonky Victorian era lamp post outside, cobbled lane entrance to the side
