Discussion

This spit covered the central part of area 11BF, and was located approximately along the line of the stream channel. As with all of the animal bone recovered from the spits in this area, cattle bones were the most numerous species. Finds of note include 2 coins and a human femur, all of which were found within the same square metre, although the two coins were separated by at least 530 years (a barbarous radiate of Tetricus I from 270-284 and a styca of Eanred from 810-841). Although they could not be attributed to any specific feature, geophysical evidence indicates they were near the terminus of  a ditch.
