Work at the dig in Leicester did not stop over the weekend.  A third trench, running in a north-south direction, has been dug.  This trench is in the car park of a former school, which is adjacent to the Leicester City Council Social Services car park.  However, I couldn’t help wondering when I saw the photo on the latest news update by the University of Leicester, whether the part of the church, where Richard III was buried, would not possibly turn out to be underneath the building.

Whether Richard’s remains are found or not, the insights the archaeologists gain on the Greyfriars site are fascinating.  At this stage, I am not sure what the plans for the site are, once the dig has been concluded.
