A Ditch in Time?


The 5m square test trench has proved very fruitful. Ditch features and Early Medieval dating evidence has been produced and the evidence suggests that the ditches bordering the house platforms have been changed and enlarged over time, hence why the geophysics results for the ditch looked 'fuzzy'. 

In March 2025 we will open a 10m square trench and the archaeology will be much easier to see. We are all looking forward to it. Thanks to all the hard working volunteers that braved the horrible conditions.
