Our final season of fieldwork saw a plethora of decorated stones – with this one turning up on the last few days on site.

Shortly after the site closed to the public for the last time, Travis was still working in the sondage to reach Structure Twenty’s floor. This was the same area as the spectacular, decorated clay cylinder he had found previously.

Sparking great excitement across the trenches, he uncovered one of the finest examples of a decorated stone slab found on site. Similar to one found by Ceiridwen earlier in the season, the new stone also had bands of geometric decoration on both sides.
