Today AiM began the test pit dig at St Josephs School and immediately found large quantities of industrial waste and pieces of furnace lining. The other finds were quite sparse in comparison and consisted of pieces of iron, glass, white glaze pot sherds etc.
Research prior to the dig had established that there was nothing built on this part of the field and as the finds were just below the turf this indicated that this was most likely material that had been ‘dumped’ from somewhere else.
Work will continue tomorrow to try and establish the depth of this material and what lies beneath.
