Description
A small excavation to inspect the findspot a group of metal detected finds. The area was first excavated a few days prior and had been backfilled, see EEX63857. This excavation sought to re-open the original area under the supervision of an archaeologist (A. Wightman) but it was noted that it had already been interfered with by an illegal metal detectorist. An area to the west of the original excavation was also opened, to recover artefacts which were indicated by metal detector signals and to prevent further disturbance.
