Discussion

A short segment of slot excavated in two segments, 011AB00827 to the east of the modern pipe trench and 011AB00417 to the west. Only 2 animal bones (both cattle) were recovered fron the slot, together with a fragment of red chalk. The fill was a mottled reddish loamy sand (Munsell 10/YR/34 to 10/YR/42) with 5% chalk inclusions. The slot had a shallow U-shaped profile and was cut into iron stained sand, decayed chalk gravel and sand & gravel.
