1007 Diary

We began on caer Tomb 10. late to clear the way to enter the chamber. There has been a great fall of roof in the center of chamber. Some we did not clear all of it away. We shall continue tomorrow. We took 4 full coofs out. Before we can do much good we shall have to clear the rest of the fallen rock. There is no evidence that any of the fallen roof in Tomb 10 leaned well on bed. It was away anywhere at any time and of certainly within the last 500 or 1000 years. The whole chamber of Tomb 10 is in the hard rock. The roof is slightly curved or vaulted [illegible] of door, where it continues in a horizontal plane. Breakfast out 8 10 15
