Discussion
This spit was directly under spit 012AA00092,
along the northern edge of Area 12AA, and was effectively a box section
to define the ditches as they turned northwards under the modern road.
Ditches 012AA00055,
012AA00245
and 012AB00822 were all defined, although
50cm of material had to be removed before they became visible. A further
ditch, 012AB00262 was also defined, and
although this remained unexcavated an object
and an animal bone were lifted. A number
of layers were encountered in the western segment.
