Welcome To

Tynedale North of the Wall Archaeology Group (NOWTAG). We are a community archaeology group focussing on exploring the history of the people who have, since prehistoric times, lived in the area of Tynedale now north of Hadrian’s Wall.

Because the area has for centuries been characterised by low intensity pastoral farming there are remains from earlier settlements, working environments and burial places still visible in the landscape. We are in the fortunate position of having a very rich archaeological environment that has as yet been little explored.

Rich Archaeology

rockart

In March 2020 at Greyside abandoned farmstead, Northumberland, members of NOWTAG took part in an excavation. This excavation followed on from a Level 1 Survey in 2018 by the Group, covering 1km x 2km of Greyside Farm.

The group is a community archaeology organisation, exploring the archaeology of upland Northumberland on the north side of the Tyne valley with a particular interest in non-Roman sites.
