DMV Dug Done


After finding some nice pottery artefacts, as modeled by the lovely Holly here, the DMV in the pond field is now closed.

Nice finger pinching there. 


On our last day we were taken by the landowner on a tour of the nearby quarries where the stone was worked by the villagers, mostly for building material and mortar making. Hence the stone fragments on our site. 


What a lovely view of the Isle of Purbeck countryside.


We now have a small exhibition of our site at the Langton Matravers museum. Go and visit if you are holidaying in Dorset and seeing the delights of the Isle of Purbeck.
