The weather has been pretty good which has made it easier to work today, also most of the heavy work is done and everybody has gotten to trowel, etc so the day has gone by really quickly. In the north half of trench one we have mainly been continuing to excavate where we think the drum tower wall was, which the volunteers finished clearing at the weekend, no major finds but lots of oyster shells and mortar. At the south end of the trench however, they’ve found 13th cent medieval pottery, a metal hook and the pin from a Second World grenade!. There hasn’t been much discovered in trench four, but trench five is proving interesting. As well as charcoal deposits they’ve found a metal pipe, which seems to run for a few metres before ending in the trench and which drips water.
