Digital Datasets from a Flood Alleviation Scheme at Swine Castle Hill, Bransholme, Hull, 2011-2023

This collection comprises 3D models, fieldwork reports, and associated documents from the Holderness Drain Flood Alleviation Scheme at Bransholme, Hull. As part of the Holderness Drain Flood Alleviation Scheme the Environment Agency wanted to raise awareness and enhance public understanding of the 13th century motte castle which stands within the site. The Environment Agency commissioned Benedict Dyson, a masters student in digital archaeology at the University of York, to create a digital reconstruction of what the castle may have looked like during the medieval period in its surrounding landscape. Benedict's digital reconstruction appears on an Environment Agency interpretation board on site, close to Castle Hill, on the Transpennine Trail. The artwork for the interpretation board is included in this collection. Also on the interpretation board are two drawings of a castle and various depictions of medieval people by year 3 pupils from Biggin Hill Primary School in Bransholme. These were the winning drawings in an art competition held at the school on 25th January 2023 by the Environment Agency. All of the children's drawings are included in this collection.
