Description of the goods or services required

The design and delivery of an evaluation excavation to run between 1 and 22 September 2021 at the National Trust owned Penplediau/Caerfai Promontory Fort, Pembrokeshire (NPRN: 305396, SAM PE294), through the production of a Written Scheme of Investigation. The purpose of the evaluation excavation is to characterise and date aspects of the monument and its immediate environs.
