Bradgate Park, we're back investigating ~14,000 year old archaeology
Ice Age Insights is a charity that promotes investigation of Palaeolithic archaeology and geology in the East Midlands. (Registered charity number 1169575). Our partnership is a collaborative project working on Late Upper Palaeolithic sites at Farndon Fields, Bradgate Park and Creswell Crags. This will extend our understanding of early cultures living in what is now present day England soon after the last Ice Age.
We continue a project at Bradgate Park, Leicestershire. In 2024, we undertook a geophysics survey. This year, 2025, we are test pitting again in search of the elusive Late Upper Palaeolithic hunting site presumed to be on Bradgate Lawns.

Travel back to the last ice age or even earlier ones and discover pingos!

Pingos are dome-shaped mounds found in present day tundra regions where groundwater is permanently frozen as permafrost. In a few places the ice pushes up iconic volcanic-like mounds. They are found where average annual temperatures are about -10°C, with summers no warmer than +10°C, and winters perhaps as low as -20°C or worse. Visit Ground patterning to find out all about it.
