Hot, hot, hot...

Pretty hot work today (29-30c), but some good digging was done.

The wall and drain was cleaned up and more of the drain floor exposed. Meanwhile reduction of the interior and exterior layers continued. 

The East facing wall sits on some rough stone foundation.

The drain and wall to the west is now exposed. More recording will now be done.  

Meanwhile the very hot weather has revealed some parch-marks and this is the porch and entrance of the manor house, 15m from where we are digging and matching the geophiz location exactly. We will dig a 5m square trench here to confirm.
