Discussion

This was the third trowelling spit (under 011AE00129 and 011AE00134) over the south-western area of hillwash in 11AE. The remaining hillwash was taken down to the chalk natural to define any features. In the event, only five pits and some animal burrows were located in this area. Only eleven objects and four animal bones were recovered from the spit.
