Find out about our friendly group.

As well as practical fieldwork, we offer talks and workshops covering all aspects of archaeology.

We hold a members’ meeting normally on the third Thursday of each month, providing an opportunity to share ideas and keep up to speed with what is going on in South Leeds and the rest of Yorkshire.

We are always looking for new members, why not contact us to find out more.

All  meetings take place at the Rothwell Community Hub

 Welcome to our web-site

We are back!!

South Leeds Archaeology is in the process of reforming following the difficult time during co-vid.

Meetings are now being planned in order to start a programme of activities centered around opportunities for projects based on fieldwork.  See the meetings panel.

Please note that our 2024 January and February meetings are rearranged to Friday evenings at the same venue due to prior bookings by the hub.

Fieldwork 

In 2023 we concluded the excavation of the Colliery Office  at Birstall.  We still have work to do on that site but for 2024 we have started the year at Temple Newsam House near Leeds.

Join us in our continuing geophysical surveys and possible further developments.
