What a glorious start to the day! Crumpets and coffee with a side of landscape survey sheets for Elliott and Tilly. They were recording and describing what they saw yesterday whilst on a windy walk across the Gillalees Farm land. These sheets consolidate what we see on site and help us to understand how the landscapes connect. They are also helpful for presenting information to the general public.

Kimberley, Chris and Hamish ventured out with the TST to Rinnion Hills in pursuit of  a possible tower and remains of a structure. After many hours, earthworks south east of the site were found that formed the shape of a structure along with fragments of architectural stone works (probable rubble) just north of the site. The Farmer and his family paid us a visit to discuss the archaeology.  It’s good to engage the locals on the history of their land. We all came back to some beautiful sandwiches that (for once) was not branston pickle, it was yet another great find.

Richard and Elliott finished the day with a stroll up to the beacon to record a possible dry stone waller’s hut, and recorded their findings on the GPS.
