40 years digging holes!
My first excavation 23rd February 1986 (Quay House, Exeter). I've loved every day (rain or shine) and looking forward to the next site (the next hole)...

No archaeologist would ever dig (punch) a hole the size of the artefact. It's the antithesis of context.
The coins are plunder, pure and simple!
Three visible stones. All less the 0.4 metres high. Siblyback Lake just visible in the distance.
A view of more stones, aligned in a row stretching up a gentle moor land slope.
A small section of the Craddock Moor stone row. 244m long, the stones are tiny so my photos don't really do it justice. Set in a landscape that includes cairns, an embanked avenue and a stone circle, one of my favourite places to explore in St. Cleer. #StandingStoneSunday
