The budding archaeologists will be back at Bedrule, near Denholm, from September 26 to October 8.

Kieran Manchip, project manager, said: ‘We'll be working with local volunteers and school groups on some of the days. The workshops are taking place as part of our skills development based Attainment through Archaeology project. We will also be carrying out some geophysical surveys of the site to identify and assess any sub-surface.”
