Discussion

 An east/west aligned slot in central 11BD/CD. The slot was immediately to the north of Roman ditch 011CD20018. Large chalk stones ranging from 2cm to 18cm in length were present in the fill. The slot may have formed part of a foundation trench or fence slot with a large amount of post packing still present. The slot was not fully excavated and may have extended further east (indicated by a line of stones). Alternatively, the slot may have terminated and be associated with a north/south aligned line of stones (no context number), possibly forming the corner of a building.
