Description
Four trenches were excavated by machine in a cross-shape arrangement, to achieve a cross-section of the red hill. The trenches were labelled A, B, C and D and, as such, Trenches A and D were on the same alignment, as were Trenches B and C. Each trench was excavated to the natural geology, but in some places, where the briquetage was particularly dense, it was left at a higher level to be excavated later by hand. A fifth, north-south aligned, trench was not excavated.
