Discussion

A cleaning spit immediately beneath spit 002DC00005, in the central east part of area 2DC, with its northern extent defined by the post-medieval gully (not excavated in area 2DC, but excavated in area 2DB), running east-west across the site. Like 002DC00005 above, the soil was generally a sandy silty loam (Munsell 10YR 4/4). The removal of this spit revealed a number of features, including three Grubenhäuser (002DC00032, 002DC00039 and 002DC00042), a pebble surface (002DC00096) and the central part of the enclosure ditch complex 002DC00150. Only one further centrally placed spit (002DC00199), was required after the removal of this spit.
