Volunteers for National Trust Archaeological Surveying

The National Trust are looking for volunteers to help the Heritage Archaeology Ranger Team (HART). The core function of HART is to locate and assess the condition of archaeological features.

The NT has 29 sites and these are split into clusters including Stiffkey, Morston, Blakeney and Salthouse. Some examples of the sites that need recording include WW2 pill boxes, a whirligig and defences. These sites need assessing once a year to see if there has been any change to their condition.

In terms of time commitment for this role, if each of the 4 clusters were visited once a year then it would equate to 4 days volunteering a year. Of course, the time commitment could be less than that if more than one cluster was completed in a day.

All training will be provided by the NT’s local and regional team and it is an opportunity to learn more about the area’s history, as well doing a unique volunteering role.

If you would like more information, then please get in touch by emailing Marianne.lawrence@nationaltrust.org.uk or applying at www.nationaltrust.org.uk/support-us/volunteer
