Thursday was another good day for excavation, pictured here is the complete pot that Enfys and Danielle excavated, we can’t wait to analyse the content and get a proper look at it once experts have had the chance to look at it. We were also overjoyed to welcome back Katy to the site, who has been involved in the project since the very start. Jim, one of the site’s discoverers also visited the site. It was wonderful to welcome them both.
In the evening, students gathered for a guided walk from Bill Horner, Devon County Archaeologist, and John, the ranger, who gave interesting talks on Denbury and it’s context within the wider landscape. The Iron Age hillfort is inter-visible with Ipplepen, so it was great to hear more about the site.
inter-visible – new word for me! I’ve really enjoyed the daily updates, thank you for posting them
Greetings from Canada. So proud of my brother Jim Wills for helping to discover the Ipplepen site. I visit Torquay a lot but not at the time when the dig is ongoing unfortunately.
Hope to remedy that next year all being well. Meanwhile Jim keeps me updated, would love to be part of it.
