Discussion

The final spit removed from this area of hillwash in order to try and define the sequence of ditches known to exist from the geophysical evidence  Click here to see the sample high resolution geophysics. At this point, the soil was becoming darker, and a few features were becoming visible, although it appeared that these were mainly the Medieval ridge and furrow remains. The recovery of both animal bones and objects was noticeably lower than from any of the spits removed above this one.
