Yet another showery day \u2013 but within the two gazebos for Trench 2C and Trench 4A and in the other Trenches between showers! For Trench 4A and 4B the focus was on the recording of the likely roadside building being revealed, whilst in Trench 2 excavation of the ditch of the Roman Road continued apace as seen in Figure 1.<\/p>\n\n\n

Braving the elements, Carrollanne and Joanne continued cleaning the latest surface revealed in Trench 2A. Whilst in Trench 4A Charlie and Geoff started recording the newly cleaned archaeological horizon revealing yet more of the likely Roman roadside building. Elsewhere, Chris and Tim continued with the excavation of the building surface revealed in Trench 3, whilst Jean continued to discover new archaeology in Trench 1A.<\/p>\n\n\n

In the evening BAS hosted 90 visitors to the site who after enjoying drinks and light refreshments kindly provided by Mr & Mrs D\u2019Arcy and Mr Tett, were able to view finds from the site, hear a lecture summarising discoveries made and a tour of the trenches. A total of \u00a3900 was raised towards ongoing repairs to St. Swithun\u2019s Church.<\/p>\n\n\n
