Wookey Hole, Mendip

29th September 2016: with Roz, Tav and Nick.

On arrival at the Wookey Hole car park we were greeted by Tom Chapman who presented me with a small box of animal bones and a single pot sherd recovered from a site within the cave. The bones, at first glance mainly rodent, will need to be cleaned and sorted and a visit to the site will be carried out soon.

At the top of Chamber 20 capped more rock and a better look at the prospects was possible. After some discussion and scrutiny of the area we decided to dig in the area that UBSS had previously been scratching around. We did some general tidying of the area mostly removing a dump of rocks to a safe place before exiting the cave. We will return to the site next week to continue the dig.
