Digging in Dorstone

 The archaeologists are back on Dorstone Hill!

This time they've opened a trench right next to Arthur's Stone, and they're finding something really exciting:


That's a line of post holes leading up to the tomb.  Originally the timber posts were 60cm in diameter (that's two feet in old money).  
They don't know yet how far the post line extends - it may have been a processional way up to the tomb.
They've also opened another trench nearby which may have the remains of a structure in it, but that's not nearly so impressive looking as this!
