Discussion

A cleaning spit under the area of secondary machine stripping in the north-east corner of area 2DC. The soil was generally a silty sand (Munsell 10YR 4/3). More objects and animal bones were recovered than were found in the spit above (002DC00002). The finds were from a wide range of phases, although of particular note was a late Iron Age/early Romano British copper alloy penannular brooch.
