Trench 1 - The Wilderness III

Weekend Dig 24th October 2009

This week a major assault on the ditch took place. It has always been unclear whether the ditch was 2m wide at the surface, or much wider, as the damp area could be read either way. At a depth of 90cm there is a very clear grey/green band of clay, so we chased that layer back out away from the stone revetment, hoping to find a change as we hit the ditch edge.

TRENCH 1 - THE WILDERNESS - The Ditch

Weekend Dig 3rd October 2009

This week we focused on the ditch at the foot of the bank. When the trench was initially opened we were fortunate to have had some heavy rain, so as the trench dried out, a 2m wide patch became clear.

Trench 1 - the wilderness

The Ditch Part 2

An exploratory slot was opened several weeks ago in the ditch area, and we reached a depth of 1m, and seem still to be going down. This week we opened up the slot to half the trench width, to get some elbow room to go deeper.

Weekend Dig 10th Oct 09 - Some exciting Finds!

No finds this week, at all!! So I thought it would be a good idea to look at some finds that turned up a few weeks ago. Derrick carried out a sweep over the trench and detected a strong signal above the back of the bank where most of the finds have been coming from.
