Description
Two trenches A and B were machine excavated. Trench A was designed to cut the projected line of the bank and ditch immediately south of the Mount House monument. The area available was restricted by the presence, on the north side of the site by a standing kennel building and demolition rubble; on the east by trees and on the south by builders' equipment. A portion of the demolition dump was moved by JCB to make room for Trench B.
