Discussion

This was a layer of rubble, sealed by layer 012AF00125. Like the layer above, this deposit contained an unusually high number of calcite fragments (in fact, a third of all calcite from the settlement area was derived from these two contexts). This layer also contained an iron dome-headed stud, as well as 48 late Roman pot sherds. Problematically, in that no other evidence for intrusive activity was noted at this level, a Medieval green-glaze sherd was also found. This context, with layer 012AF00125, sealed a surface (012AF00130). The surface comprised of small white and pink chalk fragments, more rounded in some areas. It was only uncovered in a small area, and remained unexcavated.
