Discussion

This was a trowelled spit to further define the sequence of enclosure ditches 011BA07130. The material removed was a sandy silty loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3) Further definition of these ditches was required in the east (spits 011BA00103 and 011BA00128). Much of the area had been disturbed by Medieval ridge and furrow ploughing. Finds included a late Roman coin, some copper alloy wire, an iron heckle tooth, an iron nail, and an Anglian bone needle. Charcoal flecking was quite common, although no daub was noted.
