Slot

Phasing

No diagnostic material culture was recovered from this feature. Apart from being sealed by spit 012AD08743, the slot had no other stratigraphic relationships.

Discussion

This short, curvilinear slot was located immediately to the east of ditch 012AD06249, and contained a single fill, a sandy silty loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/3), with less than 5% chalk inclusions (all <1.5cm in diameter). Some daub flecking, but only very slight charcoal flecking were noted. It is likely that a stake holes were located in the northern and southern termini, although they were excavated in error as part of the slot fill, and were not issued with separate context numbers. Only animal bones were recovered.

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