Behind the postholes found last week we found a section of 'hard standing' made from a mixture of mortar and small pebbles. This would indicate that this is indeed the gap that gave access to the inner courtyard.
We thought that this might be another foundation or structure, but although quite regularly laid we don't think it is.
This misalignment was probably caused by the posthole being dug through part of the foundation.
The End
After 4 seasons over 5 years we have come to the end of the excavation at Stalbridge Park. However, lots of work still needs to be done on putting together the findings of all our diggings. That will be posted here as it is produced.
Photos will be posted shortly.
