Four feet by eight feet. We have removed much of the fill (about nine cubic yards). The tip of the shovel is resting where I have removed the cap (bricks and mortar) from the bottom of the fill section. Privy material is below the cap. I will keep you posted on any finds. The fill was 1890/1900 dump material. There were some broken beers and a few unbroken but not embossed bottles in the fill along with broken pottery, stoneware etc.
I guess I could have found something a little easier for a first dig but the area may be a parking lot next year.
