12 months on from the research & planning stage, we’re finally daubing the walls of our late #Neolithic structure @butserancientfarm, based on evidence from Wyke Down, #DownFarm, Cranbourne Chase. It’s been a wonderful journey and the gift that keeps on giving #archaeology #experimental-archaeology
