The end of the day marked the end of the second week of excavation. Within Trench A, significant sections of the ring ditch surrounding the central round house, some reaching depths of around 50cm, had been excavated. This depth would have been much greater prior to the ploughing of the land and the removal of the topsoil, forming a very distinct division between the land within the round house and that outside of it.

Similarly to the ring ditch, the pits found in Trench A proved to be of much greater depth than initially expected and rather amorphous and irregular in shape, both in section as well as in plan. The full contents mainly comprised of layers of weathered chalk lined with small lenses of waste material, including burnt flint and charcoal. This infers that the pits were left open for a long period of time and occasionally filled with waste products of the settlement, providing a good overview of the every day life at the site. Trench A supervisor, Harry Manley, predicts that the excavation next week will be dedicated to the investigation of the gullies surrounding the other four round houses situated within the trench, in order to understand their morphology and wider context.

Within Trench B, the excavation also progressed on the ring ditch surrounding the large round house, with six sections dug into it. Similarly to the ditch in Trench A, the structure was discovered to be of an uncharacteristic nature, with steep sloping sides. The finds surfacing from the large ditch, located in the South East part of the trench, including thick, dark ceramic shards infer a possible Bronze Age origin, portraying a continuity of human occupation of the site throughout centuries.

Trench B supervisor, Derek Pitman, also stated that 3D photogrammetry had been carried out on some of the beehive-shaped pits within the trench. This technique utilises specialist software in order to combine different photographs of a specific feature, taken at different angles, in order to obtain a three dimensional image of the section, allowing its preservation in a digital form and thereby also supplementing the analogue record of the site. Digital, three dimensional imagery of the feature allows a much greater depth of understanding of the feature in terms of its past use as, similarly to aerial photography, it provides a different perspective; from ‘within’.
