Day 11 - a pipe dream

Today we had more diggers than ever before. Six people came along for the first time this dig and we made lots of progress. A new trench (no 5) was opened to explore the track into the site from the road to the south. This has been blocked up for some time as there is a mature Alder tree growing in the gap, and some holly trees.

The robbed wall was cleaned in trench 4 and a large area of trench 3 was excavated - and drain pipes were found in the bottom of the stone covered drain found in week one. Recording has started in earnest and with it cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Hopefully the weather will hold off so we can complete all the work without rushing.

Diggers today: Jemma, Ed, Rodger, David S, Jay, Jan, Charlene, David F, Peter S, Peter H, Mike, Mark, Christopher, James, Callum, Rosie, Richard & Kerry.

Special thanks to Ann for the cake - we all love chocolate and we ate it all.
