Area to the south of granaries. 12th June.

Searching for any remaining east wall, unfortunately looks as though it’s all been robbed away, excavating the drain that continues below the wall. 16th June

Searching for the east wall, from the north end. 16th June.

North end of granary, the remaining strip of turf area getting narrower! 16th June.

Soil sampling between the sleeper walls, turf area on the left (east) still to be excavated. 16th June.

Great pics. And wow, still just some extraordinary archaeology. I love seeing the very different architecture from the west and east granaries, obvious even with all the robbing.

And what is that I keep seeing... that weird blue in the sky... and shadows... and dry soil!

Thanks Michael for these great pictures and for keeping us updated on progress. Can't wait to get down there on the 28th and see it all for real.

Kate. B)

Nine days to go and counting looking forward to getting my hands dirty. Great photos. :rolleyes:

Those photos are amazing - I can't believe how much progress has been made since the blizzard conditions of week one!
Can't wait for the summer holiday when Jo and I intend to come andl have a proper look.

Road through the west gatehouse reopened during a "twilight shift" on 23rd June. I missed the opening ceremony. Photo 30th June.
