011AA00167

Slot

Phasing

The feature contained no diagnostic material culture. Apart from being sealed by spit 011AA00002, the slot had no other stratigraphic relationships. If it is part of the same system as 011AA00136 just to the nort, it may be Middle Saxon in date, although it exibits a number of physical differences.

Discussion

The feature is located immediately to the south of a slot on the same alignment (011AA00136), and is probably part of the same enclosure system. It is different in one respect from the slot to the north, in that it is deeper than all of the other slots in the complex. The uniform fill was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), with 10% chalk inclusions.

The slot was cut into sand & gravel, with a vertical sided, flat-based profile.
