?Natural Feature

Phasing

The only diagnostic finds were 2 late Romano-British pot sherds. Apart from being sealed by spit 012AD00676, the feaure had no other stratigraphic relationships.

Discussion

Initially classified as slots, these features may well be natural, as animal burrowing was prevalent in this area of the site (softer sand and sand & gravel). This feature was filled with a loamy sand (Munsell colour 10YR 4/3) with very few small chalk inclusions. No daub or charcoal flecking were noted.

The feature was cut (or burrowed) into sand and gravel. It was not felt to be a continuation of ditvh 012AD08455 immediately to the west.
