Today we are continuing to work from the 25th trying to bring the area down so it is level. We noticed while digging the remnant of L3076, which is the foundation trench of the wall L3068 and only remaining on the northern portion of the trench, that there is a cluster if stones that look to be part of the wall that we missed while excavating the wall. It is the same height as the stones that had sunk into the foundation trench. Also while digging the broken cobble surface, L3082, which is in the NW area of the E portion of the trench, we are finding what might be a surface underneath. We have started to find small pebbles in a hard compact silt matrix. I’m not sure yet how far the surface will continue. The surface seems very discontinuous, as we dig away more of L3082 we find that the dirt has both soft and hard areas and that there is no consistent hard of soft area. We found an early Iron Age handle in L3082, so this is probably a mixed locus.
