Stream Trench

 
Phasing

Discussion

 A section through the stream channel, excavated in the 1991 season by machine. The machine removed the layers of deposition above the features which included several layers of hillwash, buried soil and a layer of gravel. All the features were water-logged and cut into green clay natural. Six features were recorded, one pit and five ditches. One ditch (011BD01555) had a break within the trench, possibly indicating an entrance. Ditch 011BD01043 may continue northwards as ditch 011BA01041 in the stream channel trench to the north (011BA10008). All are likely to be Roman in date and the ditches probably formed the east side of enclosures in this area. Ditch 011BD01571 contained a glass bangle fragment of Roman date (011BD01041AI).
