Depression

Phasing

The only diagnostic material culture were seven later Roman pot sherds. Apart from being sealed by spits 012AD00597 and 012AD00601, the feature had no other stratigraphic relationships.

Discussion

This was a shallow depression in the hillwash, filled with a fine sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/2), with 10% chalk inclusions (1-7cm in diameter). Finds were mainly Roman pot sherds, although an unidentified iron object and a fragment of burnt daub were also present. Animal bones were mainly sheep/goat, with some cattle.
