Discussion

This spit was initially situated to define the south-western segments of the enclosure ditches(011AB10003, 011AB10004 and 011AB10005), as they turned to the east. Later it was extended to the west to define a number of post holes (011AB07063) and a potential proto long barrow (011AB10014). A large number of objects were recovered, and more animal bones than from any other spit in the area. Of particular note was a styca of Aethelred I (841-849), found directly above ditch 011AB10005.
