More good progress today with replacement flooring, stopped-up doorways and bunged-up stoke-holes being the order of the day! While we were shaded from the sun by trees, dappled sunlight is definitely not great for archaeological photos.

We made good progress on the floor and other features today. Parts of this 250 year old building have clearly seen a lot of activity, with plenty of replacements. We can't yet identify a couple of features we've uncovered, hopefully things will become clearer as more progress is made.

In true Time Team fashion, we made an interesting discovery on the last day of our dig at the current site. A charcoal deposit came to light, lying partially underneath the stony layer discovered a few days ago. What it represents isn't yet clear but it has close similarities to a deposit found beside the medieval cobbled surfaces nearby.

We'll be returning to this site in the autumn so might be able to turn up some more clues then.
