Cellar Holes - Why were these places later abandoned? Adair Mulligan explores the rich story to be discovered in what remains behind.

Why were these places later abandoned? Adair Mulligan explores the rich story to be discovered in what remains behind. See how one town has set out to create an inventory of its cellar holes, piecing together the clues in the landscape. Such a project can help landowners know what to do if they have archaeological sites on their land and help stimulate interest in a town's future through its past.
