Understanding the Uplands and Smith's Cove

The video discusses the exploration of a tunnel-like structure in the uplands, analyzing its features and potential historical significance. The team examines the wood structure, considering it might be part of a flood tunnel. Dendrochronology results are awaited to confirm its age. Despite promising findings, operations at Smith's Cove face delays due to equipment staging, halting further excavation for the year. The team remains hopeful for future discoveries.
