My second site was on top of the hill in Lincoln,towards the end of site the Sup. uncovered two "limestone walls" in the base of a trench and duly appointed me and a friend to dig a section between the two to find out their depths (both were only about metre and a half apart),after about two days I found myself 8foot down and digging out just clean sand (no finds what-soever) when suddenly a voice from above says "what the bloody hell are you digging that for?". Up the ladder I went to see who this fellow was,he introduced himself as a geologist so I told him what the sup had told us about two dry limestone walls-he then fell about laughing and told us it was a crack in the limestone pavement and probably goes all the way down to the valley bottom. The sup came over a bit later to find the two of us back-filling said hole,and not very amused!:face-confused:
