6. Friday 8th July 2011

Again rain showers mixed with baking sun, but work continued of course under the shelter of the polytunnel.
There were lots of little finds – nothing much more than little scraps of bone and clinker, but enough to keep the Finds Team busy all day.

A chain of diggers lifted a layer of stones from the trench under the poly tunnel and carried them in buckets to the stone heap, hoping to reveal traces of a structure underneath which would  match up with the features outside. They then set to work cleaning up the new context.

Meanwhile a large flagstone was lifted outside the polytunnel and diggers were given the task of clearing off the soil from there too.
