Phasing

This slot has been tentatively phased to the Anglian period, based on its association with 012AD00846. However, no material culture was recovered from the feature to verify this interpretation, and it remains possible that the feature could be earlier.

Discussion

This was one of a group of three roughly parallel slots (with 012AD00877 and 012AD00846). All three of the slots were cut by ditch 012AD00514. The fill was a sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/2), with 5% chalk inclusions. A little daub and charcoal flecking was noted in the fill (though not enough to obtain samples). The fill contained no material culture.

The slot was cut into chalk, with a U-shaped profile.
