The good news is that we have managed to find some nice sherds of pottery from our first foray into looking for the DMV. Mostly Early Medieval, but also what looks like a couple of BBW sherds too. The experts will undoubtedly tell us more.

Jolly fine boating weather...
Although the weather has been very wet and the underlying material is clay, we have found that there is a linear feature cutting the pink clay material and may be a surviving part of the surrounding ditches that were dug to make the house platforms to keep them above the wetter ground.
However, when we turned up on site last Wednesday the trench had turned into a swimming pool! The forecast is for more wet weather for the next several days, so we may have to wait until the following week to return to work.
