A.M.
With shade this morning it became apparent that the soil in Locus 3 was of two colours. To the west of the rock feature running north-south the soil is a light brown, flaky in texture and has some decaying limestone. To the east of the linear rock feature is a medium-dark brown. At the south-east a line of stones is running east-west and continues into CA76 and CA77. The two rock features appear to create a right angle (90\xb0). A sketch is present on page 95. Work this morning concentrated on eradicating high points and baulk walling in both the original trench and the extension.
It was decided to declare the different soil colours and north-south linear rock feature all different loci. Therefore, Loci 8 , 9 , and 10 were opened through the trench.
