Once Covid-19 restrictions are lifted the Partnership says it will be working with the local Pendle Archaeology Group (PAG) to advance research and give people the opportunity to discover more about archaeology.

The Group plans to investigate the state of the Roman Road as it runs through the Pendle area and hopes to create a community test pit project in a local village.

Meanwhile the Partnership suggests those interested in building their archaeology knowledge seek online training such as the six week free Dig Ventures’ course ‘How to Do Archaeology’.

The Partnership's work forms part of the Forest of Bowland's AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) remit. The Partnership says its aims are to restore, enhance and conserve the heritage and landscape of Pendle Hill, reconnect people with their past and their landscape, bring the two sides of the hill together and create a sustainable future for the environment, heritage and for visitors
