Trench TR46 - wall structure in the mound

We had an extra days digging yesterday as Clair Young MP visited the site, we'll write about this separately. 

Mary K. , Pam and Julie dug along the east site of Trench TR46 and made a fantastic discovery. It's something we've been looking for for a while now and that thing is a possible purpose why the long triangular shaped mound is there!  Up to yesterday the previous trenches over the mound have found large amounts of small find artefacts and lots of redeposited rubble and soil, but now we have at least structure foundations, which we can date 11th to 13th Century.  This really is a big step forward, although as always it raises as many question as it answers. After today's recording the rubble along the east face of the wall, it will removed tomorrow for a better view of the face and the base of the wall.

View of the path surface on the west side ,the relationship between

the two features is yet to be established. The wall is near the apex of the mound.
