AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL dig will take place at a 5,000-year-old chambered tomb in Herefordshire for the first time next month.
English Heritage, which looks after Arthur's Stone above Dorstone in the Golden Valley, said university archaeologists will carry out the first-ever dig at the site.
This will involve removing turf to expose and record particularly sensitive archaeological remains, the organisation said, adding that it would be working in partnership with the University of Manchester.
On its website, it describes Arthur's Stone as a Neolithic chambered tomb which is more than 5,000 years old.
