the trench did not cover the sockets but they said it showed up on geophys.
It wouldn't have taken too much digging to clarify that they really were stone sockets as opposed to , timber or anything else . Looks like another leap of imagination .

to be fair it was the last trench opened during the season and time was short.
It was also on private land so permissions would have to have been sought to extend the trench.
Maybe this year they will reopen it and have a look.
