The remainder of the trench was brought down to the surface of the road using baulk hammers.  Soil was sorted into buckets.  A clear surface was uncovered in the aproximate 3 western meters of the trench.  In the eastern meter, the concentration of rocks is noticeably less and the soil remians a looser top soil, not the hard packed olive green soil found underneath the rocks.  Closing photos were taken.

The trench was brought down to the level of the road surface using baulk hammers and soil (top soil) was sorted into buckets.  Like in CD 14-A, the soil on which the rocks rested was a hard packed, olive-green soil.  The westernmost meter of the road was exposed.
