And all without that tiresome geophysics and trench-digging.

Nice find! It looks great with your barbarian warrior. You need some monks now, preferably one standing with his arms out (as that's how the early churchmen used to pray and preach).

John Steinbeck, who wrote 'Of Mice and Men' and a book about King Arthur (among many other works) apparently invented a technique called 'badger archaeology'. He'd block up the entrances to badger tunnels, then go back later to find out where the badger had dug its way out, and see what had been brought up to the surface.

As someone who's done archaeological planning (tree roots and rabbit holes are bad enough), I'm sure I'd have been really annoyed if someone had done that on my site!  lol

That's brilliant, really works as scenery.

Did you get it carbon-dated?

I hope you recorded the location of your find and logged it with the appropriate authority!

Good find and it works very well as a roadside shrine  :D
