Conwy
See me on North Wales TV
To celebrate the national day of Wales’ patron saint, Saint David, I presented a short feature on North Wales TV from Conwy Castle. St David’s Day is celebrated on 1st March as he died on that date over 1,500 years ago. Hear a little bit more about his story and miracles by tuning in below:
Colwyn Bay Pier
Many of you will have seen the national headlines as two recent storms were the (literal) breaking point for sections of Colwyn Bay’s Victoria Pier. Colwyn Bay pier, first opened in 1900, has a long and varied history- but the recent storms are just the latest in its turbulent past. The building we see today is […]
Talking Hillforts
To kick off the new year in style, I will be talking hillforts next Thursday to the Deganwy History Group.

The Watchtower of Denbigh Moors
The ghostly ruins of an old house, the watchtower of Denbigh Moors, rise out of the ground as you travel over the moorland between Denbigh and Bala. It was once a lavish mansion, built around its humble beginnings as a simple wooden chalet (albeit shipped in from Norway!). A Prime Minister once addressed a large crowd from […]
Pop(py) Art: In Remembrance
Over the last few months I have been honoured to have a small part in a truly wonderful art and education project for Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day. Over the last few months, hundreds of school children have been working with local artist Laura Stenhouse and creating their own poppies, made from recycled drinks bottles. […]
“I’ll have my head in a box of artefacts…”
It’s funny how something which is so day-to-day to you can sound so funny and special to others. I suppose you become immune to the weird and wonderful things the life of an archaeologist presents. I was speaking to a contractor on the phone yesterday when he asked if we could catch up today and […]
