Same priory site,one morning while VERY hung over was told to remove a spit 30cm deep and about 20m long between two storm drains;I duly started mattocking and after a while found some tiles-put them in the tray,and then kept finding more and more tile,so in the tray they all went.At that point the old boy who'd noticed my boot ornament came over and asked what I was up to,i duly told him and pointed out all the tile i was finding (feeling dead chuffed with myself)out came his trowel and there under about 5cm of soil was this beautiful circular tile hearth!cept at this point it was only half circular as the other half was in my finds trays.
