Discussion

The final cleaning spit (under 002DC00030) to define the westernmost extent of two phases of the enclosure ditch system 002DC00150. No other features (apart from the modern pipe trench) were defined. A very high proportion of the animal bones (34/51) were cattle bones, a pattern which is repeated often in this part of the site.
