Archaeologists and military veterans have been working on a site on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire.
This is the third dig at the site known as the Avon Camp in a number of yearsMilitary veterans taking part in an archaeological dig at an Anglo-Saxon burial site have uncovered the "richest grave found this year".
The dig is run by Defence Infrastructure Organisation with the help of Wessex Archaeology in the area known as the Avon Camp.It is part of a programme called Operation Nightingale which supports the health and wellbeing of military veterans. This year, for the first time, the team is joined by members of the Army Widows' Association, a volunteer-run organisation and charity that offers support and friendship to the widows and widowers of servicemen and women.
"There is something about digging in a hole in the ground and connecting with the moment-to-moment experience that is archaeology that has proven to be very healing."
