Boots and wellies on? Check!The geophysics team worked hard today to complete the survey of 8 x 20m squares. The task was made difficult by the presence of the large earthwork banks which put our right-angles out of kilter. 
The never-ending "up one lane, and then down the next"
We seemed to spend a very long time simply trying to straighten our tapes, and make sure we had good, tight squares laid out for the grid.
In the meantime, the tapes and measure team were busy with their topographical survey of the features in the corner of the field, which we are apparently now calling “Sally’s Gill” instead of Bull Pasture. It seems the field has changed its name since the Tithe Award map.

Paul and Jennifer spent the afternoon getting to grips with Bob, the total station, to take readings from various large earthwork banks across the field.
A good day’s work.
