The Trust welcomes donations from interested people or organisations. If you would like to make a contribution to this work, then please contact use via the Contact link at the top of the page.
The Trustees include representatives of the current owners and managers of the site, The Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and the National Trust, and from the excavation team itself, to provide continuity over time.
