Nassington Dig, Day 5, 23 August 2017
Once again, the day dawned rather damp and overcast, and as most of the cleaning back was done, it was time to take the covers off and see how the site had fared over the winter under its geotextile cover. In the south-west corner, we had found a stoned surface while neatening up the edges of last year's excavation, and some ceramic (CBM) and natural building materials: some box-flue tile and roof slates made with Collyweston Slate.
