"Do you love history? Ever dreamed of unearthing the past with real archaeologists by your side? Now's your chance."
A key discovery has already been made at the site—a ditch between two burial barrows thought to date back to the Bronze Age.
Volunteers are invited to help prepare the site at 11am on Sunday, June 14.
Community dig sessions, open to all ages and experience levels, will follow from Monday, June 15.
These will take place on set Mondays and Fridays until early July, running from 10am to 12.30pm.
School sessions, with opportunities to assist school groups, are also scheduled, with volunteering support needed from 8.30am to 1pm on select dates.
Anyone wishing to take part or observe is asked to email abbey.sadler@andovertrees.org.uk.
