Cellar-brations?

The first 5m square trench is being excavated stratigraphically to find the corner of the house at this location. This will allow us to measure the length of this elevation. Indications suggest that this is the location of the cellar, as shown on the painting by the small windows at the base of this wall.   

The stratigraphy is being taken down by hand. Hopefully, this is where the cellar is located.

The North East facing wall foundation.

Our collection of ceramic is building.

Nice pipe bowl fragment. Decorated and with a makers mark.


Our metal detector continues to find artefacts that could be missed by the naked eye. 


Our ceramic collection will hopefully allow us to build up a database covering the whole life of the house.

A day at the office

With our HLF fund we now have a new gazebo for use on site. It make for a nice place to sit and have lunch, shelter from showers and a tempo...
