Porkkala 1941-1956 project fieldwork May 5th-9th 2025

The 5th excavation season in Kirkkonummi Estby was a cold but succesfull one. Once again the team managed to pull of a remarkable feat excavating some 50 square meters of the 300 square meter Cold War period Soviet concrete and tile structure.

Part of the large concrete and tile structure excavated between 2021-2025.

This season the finds were mostly quite small in size and consisted of Soviet uniform buttons, tank crew uniform related artefacts, Soviet coins (1946-1954) and smoking related items. 

A few of the artefacts found during the excavation.

The finds from the excavations of the site along with other items that have been collected in the area 1956-2025 will be shown in an exhibition in the nearby farmshop in 2026 commemorating the 70 year anniversary of the end of the Soviet prescence in Kirkkonummi 1944-1956.
