Discussion

This was a narrow, short slot located on the chalk at the eastern edge of the dry valley. Its single fill was a fine sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), with 40% chalk inclusions. No daub or charcoal flecking were noted. Two post holes (012AD00303 and 012AD00305) were located in this slot. Their depth and dimensions indicate that they were pile driven. A similar slot (012AD00297), was located 2.9 metres to the east, although no post holes were found in that slot.

The slot was cut into chalk. The profile was recorded as undulating, because plough truncation made this difficult to ascertain.
