Slot

Phasing

The slot contained no diagnostic material culture. Apart from being sealed by spit 012AD08743, the slot had no other stratigraphic relationships.

Discussion

This short slot was located in the centre of the dry valley. It contained a single fill (012AD08878), a sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/3), with very few (<5%) chalk inclusions. Daub flecking was present, but no charcoal. A number of large chalk fragments may indicate that posts were present. If this is the case, a similar slot (012AD08677) was located only 5.81 metres to the north-east.

The slot was cut into hillwash with a V-shaped profile.
