Two 1m x 1m test pits 10m apart were put into the Southern Enclosure today to test the depth of the topsoil which seems to be about 6".
A small sondage cut into the corner of the test pit shows a stoney layer a stoney layer with a small sherd of 18th/19th Century black Buckley ware in the stone layer at 8" depth.
A metal detecting sweep was made of the area to pin down the location of the geophsical survey peg, turning up a horseshoe!
