No roundhouses have been seen yet, however there is a large number of pits, gullies and ditches. It is believed that Trench D is more Roman than Iron-age but we will only know if this is true until more excavations have taken place. The main question for week 2 is determining whether the trench is more Iron-age or is it Late Bronze Age\/Post Roman.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1168\" style=\"width: 242px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/big-dig\/files\/2016\/06\/DSC_1369.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1168\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1168\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1168\" src=\"http:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/big-dig\/files\/2016\/06\/DSC_1369-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"Photography is Trench D from the top of the spoil heap. \" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/big-dig\/files\/2016\/06\/DSC_1369-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/big-dig\/files\/2016\/06\/DSC_1369.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1168\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph of Trench D from the top of the spoil heap (Copyright: Katie Moore, Bournemouth University)<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many questions are arising from Trench E, especially when trying to determine what time period it is.
