CAER Heritage Hidden Hillfort

CAER Heritage was developed by Action in Caerau and Ely (ACE) and Cardiff University in close partnership with local people and schools. Its aim is to explore the history and archaeology of Caerau Hillfort and the surrounding area, helping to connect communities with their heritage and develop educational and new-life opportunities.  In 2019 CAER launched the Hidden Hillfort Project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, with the vision:

“To make Caerau Hillfort a unique and unforgettable place for visitors by making the best use of its physical location, natural beauty, archaeological heritage and social history. 

Working alongside local people as co-creators, co-researchers and co-curators, we will develop an accessible, sensory, indoor and outdoor experience at a site that can be appreciated by everyone who visits as a place of opportunity, creativity, fun and learning.”

Watch our CAER HEDZ film production to give you a flavour of the project and the communities of Ely & Caerau (Arts and Humanities Research Council Connected Communities Festival 2015) below:
