What a day! We had a visitation from Mick Aston, Bob roft, Suise Simmons, Dick Broomhead and the photographer from the West Somerset Free Press. Here they are with Lady Gass and Polly.
They joined us for tea break and Mick told us about the lateset Time Team plans.
The feature that we thought was the base of a large wall turned out to be a line of capping stones over a very substantial stone drain (culvert). This was proved when Alan finally managed to remove one of the stones. We now have to find out whether the drain was created along the line of an earlier feature, maybe even a ditch.We decided to have a final go at finding the 'turret', and will be hiring the digger again to open up a further trench within the area surrounded by the metalled road surface.
We took a final group photo of the fantastic Kilve Team before they went their separate ways. I is very quiet at Fairfield now they're gone, but it has been the best week of the entire project (so far!).From Rachel.
