Slot

Phasing

The feature contained no material culture. Its relationship with the north-south aligned ditch 012AD00768 was not established.

Discussion

This was a narrow, short slot located right on the northern limit of excavation.. Its single fill was a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/2), with less than 5% chalk inclusions. A little daub and charcoal flecking were noted. It was exceptionally shallow, which is why no relationships with the surrounding features could be established. Its definition as a slot appears somewhat difficult to support, given that only a tiny part was excavated.

The feature was cut into chalk. The profile was recorded as a wide U, although its shallow nature made this difficult to ascertain.
