Slot

Phasing

All of the finds (18) from this slot were later Roman pot sherds. The slot may have a functional relationship (forming the eastern part of an entrance) with ditch 012AD07228, which has been tentatively phased to the Anglian period, although it also contained a number of later Roman sherds. No stratigraphic relationship with ditch 012AD00311 to the north-east was established.

Discussion

This short slot contained a single fill, a fine sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/2), with 10% chalk inclusions (1-3cm in diameter). Some charcoal, but no daub flecking was noted.

The feature was cut into solid chalk, with a U-shaped profile.
