Pointhorne - 28.09.07
Excavation has finished at Pointhorne and we are backfilling on Sunday 30th September after what has been an interesting, rewarding, and well attended dig. The well has been filled in by the farmer for safety reasons, but has been recorded and our data will be published here as Alex and Winston get to work drawing and writing up. There are plenty more photographs to come from Dave Thomas too, along with the results of Les Williams and Randle Knight's historical research, so watch this space!
The photographs below were taken on the 16th:

Additionally, a most interesting feature was uncovered with the aid of a mechanical excavator, as the photographs show:
