Slot

Phasing

The feature contained no diagnostic material culture. It was cut by post hole 012AD08958, part of a roughly north-south aligned line of posts. It had no other stratigraphic relationships.

Discussion

This short slot was located just to the north of pit 012AD08901. Its single fill was a sandy silty loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), with 10% chalk inclusions (0.5-2cm in diameter). Both daub and charcoal flecking were noted. It was very shallow, and may have suffered some truncation.

The slot was cut into hillwash, with a shallow V profile (where this could be established).
