A major archaeological excavation at the front of Carrickfergus Castle, County Antrim, will begin later.

Carrickfergus Castle is one of Northern Ireland's best-known historic monuments.
It has been in state care since 1928, and is now managed by the Historic Environment Division of the Department for Communities (DfC).
