We started our Year Two excavation at Derrywoone Castle on Tuesday; a bright sunny day (its always nicer in the
north - or so Fintan says)! The setting of the castle is beautiful, surrounded by green park land.
We set about organising our cabins and our surveyor James set out the trench cuttings. The crew got busy removing the sod from the trenches.
Some of these trenches will investigate possible features shown on the geophysical survey which was undertaken by Joanna Leigh. We hope to find some evidence for tenant houses associated with the castle. The
geophysical survey highlighted some linear features and blobs which could be of
interest. We also set out Cuttings around the castle and we hope to start them next week - all very exciting!
We had some very nosy neighbours watching the proceedings with curiosity....... :-)
