21st June 2025 : Dig Diary Day 20
The forecast was wrong and unsurprisingly only five of us turned up! A haar (that’s a sea fret to anyone further south!) hung over the site until lunchtime after which it remained quite nice really… just shows you never know! Trench 8 saw the removal of the large piece of pink granite which might potentially be related to the quern stone. Certainly it had the look of a saddle quern but at the same time, not quite! Another puzzle! The large post hole in trench 10 has nearly bottomed-out with a stone base now becoming apparent. We had a very welcome visit from Graeme Cavers who is a Director of AOC and a specialist in the Iron Age. He has given us some valuable advice on the management of our trench 8 finds and he and Kristian exchanged ideas on the more subtle aspects of the investigations. Cleaning of bones from trench 8 was carried out as was the entertainment of some delightful young visitors. We have a very specific plan of action for the remaining days which should now be thankfully cooler so look forward to seeing everyone at 10 am tomorrow !
