Discussion

The spit was shovel-scraped then trowelled back in order to define the north-south oriented enclosure ditches in the south-eastern part of area 11AE. The northern of three adjacent spits (with 011AE00403  and 011AE00388 to the south), it helped to define two ditches (011AE07142 and 011AE07140). Thirty-three objects and twelve animal bones were recovered from the spit. The majority of the objects were Roman potsherds. One further spit (011AE00430) was necessary to fully define some of the ditches in this area.
