Ditch

Discussion

A severely plough-truncated segment of ditch was all that remained of this feature. At its deepest point only 15cm remained, and in places less than 3cm were left. With only a small part of the ditch remaining, it is unusual to find this many objects (although 2 of them were certainly derived from the medieval furrow which cut through the ditch). Apart from the derived green-glazed sherd, the remaining sherds were either Roman (6) or undiagnostic (2).
