Discussion

The southern of three adjacent spits (with 011AE00410 and 011AE00403 to the north), this spit was removed in an attempt to define the series of north-south oriented enclosure ditches in the south-eastern part of area 11AE. A number of later Roman and Anglian finds were recovered from this spit, with the animal bones maintaining the usual majority of cattle and sheep/goat, with a few pig bones. Although the material removed (sandy loam Munsell 10/YR/43) appeared to be uniform, a number of ditches were visible in the section. It was thus decided to extend this spit and deepen it to ascertain the profiles of all the ditches. This was done under the number 011AE00424.
