"I had been scanning all day, and then moved next door into the Druid's Arms to download my material on to a computer over a pint.

We tend to think archaeologists have looked everywhere, but they haven't. They've looked almost nowhere in detail except in advance of roadworks. There's a lot just waiting to be found.
