Trench 8 to 13

For the third annual Community Dig, Hyde900 returned to two gardens previously dug in King Alfred Terrace as well as a completely new garden to continue the excavation of the Abbey cloisters.

Once again, Winchester Archaeological and Local History Group (WARG) provided supervisors for all stages – digging, sieving, finds processing and recording, together with the equipment.  David Ashby of the University of Winchester returned as advisor to the dig, and we were also extremely fortunate that Dr John Crook, Consultant Archaeologist to Winchester Cathedral, was with us again.

We were delighted to be supported by  CBA Wessex and the Aviva Community Fund, and sponsored once again by Belgarum Estate Agents, whose Managing Director, John Leeson opened the dig.
