Well we're a week into our excavation at Derrywoone Castle and have been very lucky with the weather. Progress continues at a steady pace and the crew are keeping tabs on who can keep the tidiest sod stockpile - Tony seems to be winning at the moment ;-)

We're already finding some nice features including a path in
Cutting 1 and brick, mortor in Cutting 2. The path in Cutting 1 appears to represent that shown on the first edition six-inch OS map. While this may be an 18th demesne feature it is possible that this represents an older route associated with the castle occupation.

The section of path appears to correspond to a north-south running path to the east of the castle on the first edition six-inch OS map.
