Day 27 - Rocks in the Cellar

Week 6 - Day 27
The sand, ash and cinders have started to be removed. Because of the congestion around the chapel this work is taking place outside of normal work hours to enable the skips to arrive and leave as they are filled. Only the sand above a plastic membrane layer has been seen so far, so it was a surprise to find large rocks buried underneath.
Working our way through the sandy / ash material on which the stone slabs
had been bedded on a thin mortar layer.
Large rocks in the lower deposits below the cellar floor.
