The last two days at the castle have been spent in enlarging the excavation area towards the south, reaching wall 18 without digging any other context. We were able to expose another section of structure 16, while the other contexts were badly damaged by the roots of the trees that are very persistent in this part of the settlement. It took quite an amount of time indeed to free the area from the stumps.
At the end of today, the site was ready to be closed for the winter and for another archaeological season in 2019 which will probably see the opening the rest of the area.
