Work is underway to uncover Elizabeth Castle's history
Work to uncover the history behind Elizabeth Castle in Jersey is taking place again this summer.
A team of 21 archaeologists from the University of York are in the island to carry out work at the castle, including excavations of the lost barracks.
The five staff members and 16 students from the archaeology department will be in Jersey until 16 July.
The visit is part of an ongoing research project between the university and Jersey Heritage. The team is aiming to restore some of the buildings that were damaged during the Occupation.
The team from the University of York first visited Jersey in 2017 to carry out research at the castle, returning last summer to begin excavating the lost barracks site and to survey the hospital.
The 2019 activity programme will focus on three areas:
Continued excavation of the lost barracks on the green.
Research into the castle's Occupation heritage ahead of next year's Liberation 75 celebrations.
An investigation into the site of the 12th century Abbey.
