Discussion

This was a ten metre long by one metre wide box section excavated by hand along the southern edge of Area 11AE. It was excavated to provide a profile of the sequence of ditches which were known to exist but which were proving particularly elusive to define on the ground. A total of eight ditches were defined. Eighteen objects, predominantly a mix of Roman and Anglian, were recovered, with 49 identifiable animal bones (mostly sheep/goat and cattle).
