Slot

Phasing

All of the diagnostic material culture recovered was of later Roman pot sherds (9), apart from an earlier samian sherd. Apart from being sealed by spit 012AD08000, the slot had no other stratigraphic relationships.

Discussion

This was a short slot, located directly between enclosure ditches 012AD07217 to the north and 012AD07218 to the south. The single fill was a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3), with less than 5% chalk inclusions (0.5-1.5cm in diameter). No charcoal flecking was noted, although two burnt daub fragments were recovered. Thre was no evidence for post or stake holes.

The feature was cut into hillwash and into sand & gravel, with a U-shaped profile. Its exact edges were ephemeral, and difficult to define.
