Description
A second season of excavation at the red hill, see also EEX25035. It was decided to follow up the trenches of the previous year with an open square to the west of Trench D. Initially this was to be a 25 metre square and an area of top soil 30 x 30 metres was cleared by machine with the intention of laying out the square within. However, when cleared, this showed auspicious signs of clay in the north and south corners of the western boundary, so in order to take in these, it was necessary to mark out a 30 metre square.
