Days 6: Monday 25th July
Firstly a few shots form Friday (day 5)
Craig, in trench 2, continuing to dig
The plastic bag contains a find, we are finding small pieces of pottery, but still nothing Roman
Volunteers cleaning the cobbles off to reveal the extent of the road
Monday saw a return to the cobbles after a weekend of much-needed rain. The ground was blissfully soft and ideal for cleaning.
In trench 2 a relatively modern field drain revealed itself, chopping through the cobbled road surface and the later 19th century aggar deposit at an angle. Work continues to find the drain itself, although it is surprisingly deep!
In trench 3 the clean up operation began to get the two road surfaces and central slot ready for photographing and recording. The volunteers worked back in a line giving everything a robust trowel clean and Don worked within the central slot, straightening up the sections ready for its close up later in the week.
Don helpfully points out the cobbles!
