Season's End

 


The Digging season has ended early this year. Although we did not find much in the way of features, especially the 'Great Seller', we have had a massive increase in artefacts, especially architectural stonework (see previous articles below). 

We were held back by lack of access to a digging machine and had to strip the 5m x 5m trench by hand, but through the hard work of our volunteers we had a successful year, considering we started late in the season too. 

The 2018 technical report has been written and copies sent to the Dorset County Council Archive and Dorset County Museum. The finds have been archived and stored by the Stalbridge History Society. The 2019 report is in progress and nearly ready to be archived. 

A big thank you to all our volunteers who dug this year. See you in 2022.
