Colour photo showing a long narrow archaeological trench across the bank and ditch of Castilly henge. The raised bank is top left, dipping down into the ditch in the middle and back up the henge interior to bottom right. Two archaeologists wearing brightly coloured hi-vis clothes are working in the trench. One shovels soil into a wheel barrow, the other draws on the bank. A small hawthorn tree is in the middle of the photo, there is blue sky above.
