Discussion

The slot was generally unexcavated, only being looked at where it was cut by pit 012AD00788 and post hole 012AD06238. It contained a primary fill (012AD06235) of pink chalk and clay with a Munsell colour of 2.5YR 5/8 (possibly oven base material). This was sealed by 012AD06233, a medium sandy loam (Munsell colour 10YR 3/3) with both daub and charcoal flecking evident.

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