Discussion

A cleaning spit (generally a sandy silty loam, Munsell 10YR 4/4, with up to 20% chalk inclusions) 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. Several features were revealed by the removal of this spit, which also came down to natural in a number of places, although some areas required further definition (002DC00006, 002DC00199 and 002DC00217).
