11th June 2025 : Dig Diary Day 10

Another hot day and an excellent turnout with Trench 8 now proving very popular! More post holes are appearing and have been complemented by finds of bone and ceramic. In Trench 10 more finds this time a copper alloy (probable) medieval strap end and a rather lovely rubbing stone. A very nice post-hole abutting the interior of the large ring was sectioned by Pauline. It contained a bone and stone placed directly on the base. Within the interior and close to the large post hole excavated in 2021 Poppy emptied a small area of back-fill revealing a likely feature as purposefully laid stone is emerging. This might be a pit which is similar to those already excavated within the ring on the southeastern quadrant: if so it would demonstrate consistency of use-of-space within the ring as this pit is in the northwestern quadrant. Exciting times so join us tomorrow we’re out as ever from 10 am.
