opened excavations here although the northern baulk is part of the German trench of several years ago. We have opened the southern half and are in the topsoil, f208. [Input: Q902MS.j] |

began removing the central portion of the locus which was left standing in MZ16. Also began drawing the eastern baulk before removing. [Input: Q912MS.j] |

began removing the east baulk baulk and there is a lot of dirt in an awkward area so it seems to be going very slowly. [Input: Q912MS.j] |

it appears we have the corner of the wall f72 turning somewhat sharply to the north. The stones are in line with those excavated in MZ16 and will probably join up. They only seem to be a single course and may be a memory wall of the original terrace. There is still a lot of dirt to remove and hopefully we will be able to clear it out and get more definition tomorrow. [Input: Q912MS.j] |

we have found the corner of the wall, f72. It is where we predicted it to be based on the geophysical survey. Although we have the corner, there are additional stones that move to the west from the corner and these may indicate some type of building also seen in the survey. We have no time to excavate further here and will cease excavation. [Input: Q916MS.j] |

have completed excavations here and found what appears to be the corner of the wall, f72, a3. We finished removing the dirt and did some minor cleaning. [Input: Q916MS.j] |
