Estelle Sandford, James Begley

1hr

Has been quite wet over the last few days and the dig had clearly had a good wash. There was some slumped spoil in a pile plus the hole in the floor directly below the hole in the floor we created has a small way on now, probably caused by water backing up on it and pushing the mud through. Estelle went in and cleared the slump and had a good go at clearing any mud around the hole and a bit of rock from smacking with a hammer, to a point where you can put your arm in with a crowbar and wave it about and drop stones and they sound like they are dropping maybe 2-3ft. The holes at the end are also interesting and can put bar in a far way and see on a bit horizontally. Both holes need banging, there is nothing else to do without bang now. The hole directly below looks like it is another ‘shelf’ or false floor like above. Some water in the other two that still need digging.
