JERSEY’S heritage has been given top marks by a group of eminent British archaeologists.

Tim Shadla-Hall of University College London said that Jersey has some of the finest archaeology in the British Isles.
‘We are absolutely knocked out by the quality of conservation and the sheer number of archaeological sites and monuments, which we can’t believe can exist in such a small space.’
