Cellar?

After a good clean the stone walls were coming up very clear and after some recording we started to reduce the dump material up against the them.

Inside the walls most of the later dumped material is now off and the original dump from the demolition is now coming up. This will be recorded and then reduced. Hopefully this may show up the bedding trenches for the walls and drain. When they are recorded we can start to reduce what we hope will be the fill of the basement, which should be in this corner of the building. Look at the painting in earlier posts and the small window can be seen at this point, letting light in to the underground cellar.   

We are also reducing the outside material to expose the courses of this wall to the east of the drain.

Meanwhile the material against the western wall is also being reduced. 

We have a school coming on Wednesday to see what we have been finding.
