I've just named this Site based on a modern ditch that cuts this Roman Site into 2 pieces; 1 roughly 30% & the other 70%. The 70% was on another landowners field, so Land-Mag did his magic & got us permission. We still have a small area to finish on Split-Site East but that can wait.
The conditions are far from perfect; with Oil-Seed Rape stalks & volunteers growing up thick in places. However, this makes it easier to walk on with my boots actually coming off cleaner than they started.
The last 2 outings were about assessing the size & shape of the Site, so that it can inform our grid pattern tomorrow.
Cru'dad did a solo Friday hunt for 2 & a bit hours getting;
11 Scrappies
Roman Steelyard Weight
Roman Ring Bezel
Roman Leather Mount
I did 2.5 hours with Land-Mag today & I wanted to check past the outer edges that Cru'dad had defined. I got;
6 scrappies
1931 Sixpence
Land-Mag (2 hours) Not pictured here:
7 Roman Coins
Roman Oval Plate Brooch
Iron Age (Celtic) Brooch
Tomorrow the real work begins
