Discussion

A north-south oriented slot, this was filled with a sandy loam (Munsell 10YR 4/3) with 5% chalk inclusions 0.5-2 cm in diameter. The fill contained a much higher proportion of animal bones to objects than the other features in the immediate area. The species represented were predominantly cattle, followed by sheep/goat, with quite a high number of goose bone.

The feature was cut into hillwash with a flat-based V profile (with a slightly steeper angle on the eastern side).
