Trench 3 was a hand dug trench measuring 4m x 4m and located to target the evaluation trench excavated by UCLAN in 2013. It was designed to further investigate the original deposition of the Treasure and to complete the excavation of a possible cremation burial. Excavation unearthed features such as the former UCLAN trench, a Bronze Age pit and a second pit with an inverted cremation urn that contained the remains of possibly one young male adult. Additional finds comprised abraded pot fragments, worked lithic material, burnt stone and cremated bone fragments. The magnetometry survey revealed a long linear anomaly characteristic of a former field boundary, as well as two large amorphous and magnetically strong anomalies suggestive of quarrying or excavation. Additionally, several smaller scale ferrous anomalies were present throughout the data, which were probably modern. Low level aerial survey of the site was successful, with a completed UAV mounted photogrammetry survey that will produce a full metrically accurate 3D digital terrain model of the site to place the monument and interventions into a landscape context. As the project moves into the fourth execution stage an Updated Project Design will be produced distilling these results into proposals for extending the trenches across the top of the mound at Bolton le Sands to investigate probable further cremation urns, and potential funerary activity. Additional fieldwork proposals include a landscape survey and targeted excavation of a second recently discovered hoard site at Scotforth. Building on the success of the 2016 field season’s public engagement strategy, the Heritage Lottery Fund have been approached to support a 12-month activity plan alongside fieldwork proposals for 2017. This will include the creation of a pop-up museum at Lancaster City Museum designed to help revitalise interest and engagement with the heritage of the area. Acknowledgements Thanks to our project partner, Durham University, and in particular to Matthew Hepworth and David Kierzek, the metal detectorists who discovered the site in the first place. Also thanks to Stuart Noon, for introducing us to the site, to Christine Stebbing and the group of Morecambe Heritage Centre who supported us throughout the project, to Sue and Alan Tyldesley from Yealand Old School, to Joe and Barbara Whitaker, the landowners of the excavation site, to Andrew Brown of the Lancaster and District Heritage Group, to Jason Wood from Beyond the Castle, as well as to Peter Iles from Lancashire County Council. The project was managed and directed for DigVentures by Brendon Wilkins and co-directed by Stuart Noon and Benjamin Roberts, with Lisa Westcott Wilkins in the role of Project Executive. The project field team included Raksha Dave, Maiya Pina-Dacier, Rosanna Ring, Nigel Steel, Anna van Nostrand.
