A very exciting prospect for our little B1 trench. After further cleaning, this edge came up very clearly. To the left is the large slabs of stone, set in grey soil and green clay. To the right is the yellow-orange clay that we found under the small stone layer. It is a very sharp line, and we think that this stone/green clay material could turn into a fill of a pit, or even a cesspit. If that is the case we will extend the trench to find its full extent.
This is the B1 trench, with the potential pit at the bottom.
We had a visit from Dr Mary Sparks, our researcher of this DMV, and many other sites of the Isle of Purbeck. Saxon the dog came along too.
Keep looking in to find out if it is a pit/cesspit!
