Mole archaeology

I can't walk past a ploughed field without the urge to walk it nor can I resist troweling through mole hills. The mole archaeologists have been busy at work again, this time over Martin Down. An area rich in history and monument from the Neolithic and probably beyond, so the moles hills of Martin Down have particular draw. Troweling through a few hills near to Grims Ditch and in an area dotted with barrows, nothing caught my eye, I persevered, then a largish sherd of Bronze Age pottery presented itself; course fabric, ruddy in colour, about 10mm thick with plenty of gritty inclusions. Nice.
