Today started much like yesterday had finished \u2013 arriving on site we returned to the features we were working on yesterday.<\/p>\n

Hayley and Josh finished their feature (a ditch that might define one side of a trackway visible on the geophysics) and prepped it for photographing, Zara and Ellie joined in when the section and plan was drawn. James H and Holly-Ann finished removing the layer at the northern end of the trench, the area was then trowelled back to reveal any underlying features. Meanwhile Holly-Ann moved to help Chris in excavating a ditch further north \u2013 hoping to gain more dating evidence for the feature.<\/p>\n

After finding the impressive Millstone<\/a> yesterday Ellie and Zara pressed on and continued to excavate Andy\u2019s ditch. Elliot and James H were then tasked with removing the fill from a ditch that is part of the many complex stratigraphic features at the Northern end of the trench.<\/p>\n

The afternoon saw some finds being unearthed, Brian found a piece of worked flint. Having moved to a feature revealed in yesterdays trowelling, Hayley and Josh found some bone, flint and pottery after chipping away only a few centimetres of the fill. The slot of the Post-Medieval ditch Douglas and Sue were working on had been finished, and, with Andy\u2019s guidance, they filled in the paperwork for the feature.<\/p>\n
