Archaeologists digging at Millom Castle have uncovered a vast array of fascinating artefacts, spanning multiple eras.

考古学家在米勒姆城堡进行挖掘，发现了大量跨越多个时代的迷人文物。

From a Prehistoric flint to the largest collection of Medieval pottery in the area, musket and carbine balls from the Civil War, a tiny stirrup shaped strap fitting from the mid-14th century, a spindle whorl and a medieval coin were among the discoveries.

从史前燧石到该地区最大的中世纪陶器收藏、内战时期的步枪和卡宾枪子弹、14 世纪中叶的小型马镫形带配件、纺锤形螺纹和中世纪硬币都在其中。

"Lots of Victorian pottery including pieces marked ‘Millom School’, glass, nails, bones, drain tiles, and dumped rubble in an area once dotted by old sand pits, were also found," a spokesperson from Millom and District Local History Society said.

米勒姆和地区地方历史学会的发言人表示：“还发现了许多维多利亚时代的陶器，包括标有‘米勒姆学校’的陶器、玻璃、钉子、骨头、排水瓦片，以及在曾经点缀着旧沙坑的地区倾倒的瓦砾。” 。

The dig also uncovered part of the moat that once encircled the castle, which historians now believe was 'originally much larger than previously thought.

这次挖掘还发现了曾经环绕城堡的护城河的一部分，历史学家现在认为，护城河“最初比以前想象的要大得多”。

All the finds will now need to be written up and a report prepared for the funders. The final event will be on Saturday, August 24 at Holy Trinity Church at 1.3pm. The finds will be on display, and presentations about the results of the project will be given.

所有的发现现在都需要写下来，并为资助者准备一份报告。最后一场活动将于 8 月 24 日星期六下午 1 点 3 分在圣三一教堂举行。这些发现将被展示，并将提供有关该项目结果的演示。
