Phasing

No diagnostic material was recovered from this feature. Although the slot 012AD00440 appears to cut through this feature, this was not seen during the excavation phase. Apart from being sealed by spit 012AD00001, the feature had no other stratigraphic relationships. A similar feature (012AD00450), was located one metre to the east.

Discussion

This was a very shallow feature, located on the eastern chalk edge of the dry valley. It contained a single fill, a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), with5-10% chalk inclusions. No daub or charcoal flecking were noted. The only find was a chip of the locally occurring flint.

The feature was cut into chalk, and due to the plough truncation, the profile was given as flat.
