Week 1 Roundup

It’s been a busy week with lots to think about.

We spent the first part of our week laying out and opening Trenches B and C. Trench B has a lot of archaeological features in it, but also many modern features too. Most of the work in Trench B this week has been digging and recording these modern features.

In Trench C (40m long x 2m wide) it was soon obvious that the enclosure visible on the geophysical survey was full of ancient activity. Early indications are that the enclosure and the features on its interior date from the Late Iron Age (the period just before the Roman Conquest). This week we hope to get a better understanding of the date and function of the features in Trench C.
