Three communities living near historic iron age hillforts join forces for new collaborative project

Cardiff University

A project which has helped thousands of people to learn more about the history of their area is expanding its reach to two new sites.

CAER Connected builds upon the award winning archaeological and historical co-research partnerships developed by the CAER Heritage Project (CAER) and its community partner Action and Caerau in Ely (ACE) over the past decade.

To date, CAER's initiatives have focused on the communities of Caerau and Ely in Cardiff and involved more than 19,000 participants of all ages in discovering the story of Caerau Hillfort – an important and previously undervalued prehistoric monument. They have used archaeological and historical research as inspiration for art, film-making, social enterprise and other creative activities.
