Discussion

This cleaning spit covered the entire northern half of area 2DC, to the north of the east-west terrace (002DC00092 etc). Generally, the soil was a sandy loam hillwash (Munsell 10YR 4/3). Although a large number of objects and animal bones (particularly cattle bones) were recovered, no features were revealed by the removal of this material. Only in the south-western corner (which required the further removal of spits 002DC00045 and 002DC00068) was the westernmost extent of the enclosure ditch system 002DC00150 revealed.
