I’ve now finished the excavation, recorded, photographed, cleaned finds and have back filled the soil ready for the pumpkin patch to be planted. Below are a collection of photo’s for you all to look at and offer any interpretations you may have, head into our forum to let use know what you think.

Here is a photo of two of the ridges and a furrow, the red white sections are 25cm. Notice how the tops of the ridges aren’t rounded, they appear to have a flattened or troughed top which is probably due to planting of crops or later disturbance.

A close up of the furrow. Notice the stone resting on the edge of the plough line. I found very little stone in the furrows, but a lot more from the sandy ridges. It would appear that the stone was removed as the field was ploughed.

A photo to show the distinct boundary between the dark organic soil and the iron rich sand as it appeared just below the top soil. (Seen from directly above looking down).

Before I back filled I decided to look at the furrows, so I removed the soil and exposed the plough line. It is very uneven and not always at the same depth.

I’ll get the drawings I’ve done up here soon and let y’all take a look and let me know what your interpretations are.
