The drainage ditch has worked very well and although we had to bail-out the dug features 90% of the water had run off down the incline, as planned.
Once we had then cleaned the base of the trench we could see the linear feature running west-east. We started cutting slots and now have some nice sections to draw along its length. Importantly, we have some pottery fragments that will allow us to date the ditch.
Although the conditions are challenging we also found another feature, but it is amorphous, so we will have to investigate this one later.
We are now hoping that the rain will break for a few days (for a few weeks?) and we can continue to investigate the lives of the medieval people that once lived on this spot.
