I remember a lady called Hilary Graham who hailed from the Lincoln area who was an absolute superb digger and recorder. Managed to turn areas of saturated brickearth that looked like a World War One battlefield in to something you could play billiards on.[:0]
Haven't heard anything about her since the mid eigties mind so no idea if she's still digging.
Blimey! I haven't seen or heard anything about her (or Mike G) since I last saw them at EH's excavation at Brompton on Swale. She was indeeed remarkable and I once saw her destroy a rather patronising bloke who tried to help her by emptying her barrow. He could barely lift the thing and had to stop about half way up the heap. She grabbed it back and trundled to the top and dumped it as if it was empty, leaving her puffing, red-faced helper to nurse his bruised ego.
