aligned ditch 012AD00483 was not
established.
Discussion
This was a narrow, short slot located immediately to the east of enclosure
ditch 012AD00483. Its single
fill was a fine sandy clay loam (Munsell colour 10YR 4/2), with 10% chalk
inclusions (1-10cm in diameter). A little charcoal but no daub flecking
was noted. The two post holes at the southern
end of the slot may mark the terminus of one phase of the enclosure, although
it is more likely that this feature is part of an internal structure within
the larger enclosure. Many more occurrences of this type of feature were
observed in the enclosure to the north of this one, and have been tentatively
identified as a form of animal pen.
The feature was cut into chalk. The profile was recorded as a U-shape,
although the notes indicate a more uneven cut.
