Today was our last day of digging on site – and it is fair to say that there were lots of mixed feelings by the end of the afternoon.<\/p>\n

The aim of today was to finish off the last bits of recording and excavation in both trenches and get them photo-ready.<\/p>\n

In trench B Cubby and Johanna mattocked out a linear feature that was uncovered in yesterday’s trowel-back after the rain. They found some flint and a little pottery before setting about planning and recording it – all before lunch!<\/p>\n

In trench C Lucy, James and Andy took out the second half of the Iron Age work. Lucy did some sturdy work and uncovered the rest of an Iron Age \u00a0fired-clay oven plate \u00a0similar to those found at Maiden Castle in Dorset<\/a>\u00a0just as\u00a0Professor Niall Sharples<\/a>, of Cardiff University, took some time out of his busy day of digging at\u00a0Ham Hill<\/a>, in conjunction with the Cambridge Archaeological Unit<\/a>, to pay us all a visit.\u00a0Meanwhile Pete and Dave discovered that Danni’s linear split in to two linears – just what we needed in the last day! Georgia and Andy did some surveying and helped out around site with the recording and trowelling of trench C.<\/p>\n

None of us can believe that tomorrow all our hard work will disappear under tonnes of soil as we start tying up loose ends and tidying up our site…<\/p>\n
